“He who desires to consecrate himself to God must, in the first place, trample under his feet, all regard for what others will say of him. O my God, why do we not ask what Jesus Christ or His holy Mother, will think of our conduct?”  St Francis Borgia (1510-1572)

Sometimes we are more concern about what others think or say of us, than are we what God thinks of us. What others think of us is their opinion and may or may not be true. But in the bigger picture of things, it really doesn’t matter, not in eternity.  On the other hand, what God thinks of us is important. Either he sees us as one striving to be in relationship with him or one who has separated oneself from Him. What he sees us to be at the time of our death will make an eternal difference in our life. Be concern more about being in right relationship with God than being pleasing to others.
