John 5:44
English Standard Version ((C)2001)
How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
This verse made me think how easy it is to become entangled in our own desires to be adored, like, or respected by our peers. And how this deception can take on many shapes and emotions to convince ourselves it is okay. But, doesn't this put God second in our lives instead of 1st?
Just thinking and wondered about your thoughts on this
