Just a thought…

The opinions of others do matter to some extent. But what counts in the long run is not  human opinion but how God sees us. Nothing compares with that judgment.

The basic issue is whether we have been authentic human beings. Because of fidelity, the righteous will live. Life in the state of grace, does not depend on social reputation, but on our inner quality. As Paul says, one cannot even fully judge oneself. About righteousness, we can only trust in God’s mercy, while making an honest effort to do what is right.

Then the principle applies: “for those who loves God, all things work together unto good.”
