“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” —Romans 12:17–18
"God helps those who help themselves.
God helps those who cannot help themselves.
These two proverbs are equally true; but the last is very sweet to the hopeless and helpless.
Our extremity is God’s opportunity, and he is never slow to begin when we have reached the end of our own power and wisdom."
— Charles Spurgeon

Craving praise is a form of bondage. The need to be liked, approved, and applauded can quietly control your life, and it never satisfies. It gives a fleeting high, then leaves you emptier than before.
But when you’ve tasted the beauty and approval of God in Christ, that addiction begins to break. His “well done” is the only praise that truly sets you free.
“I went to the Master, with nothing of my own, casting myself on his mercy;
I believed that he died for me, and now, he will never cast me away.”
— Charles Spurgeon
“Through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.” Galatians 2:19
Do you live to God?
Is everything in your life from him, through him, and to him?
Is he a living person with you and helping at every moment?
We must recognize that, because man’s heart is impervious to the word of God, it is surprise if our evangelism fails to result in conversions; we must remember that the terms of our calling are that we should be faithful, not that we should be successful
J.I. Packer
