Galatians 1:10

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

A title can quietly become a measuring stick. One week you are praised, the next you are questioned, and your soul starts keeping score. Paul's question is a mercy: who are you actually serving? When people's approval becomes the goal, ministry becomes exhausting. When Christ is the audience, you are free to serve faithfully whether or not anyone notices.

Prayer: Lord, free me from the need to be approved. Let Your pleasure be enough for me today. Amen.
