What do people think about me?
This is the question that worries the weak. They care too much about their “image” before others. That’s the reason why so many people commit suicide. Evil has taken advantage of this situation and strengthened his voice inside of their minds.
A wise old man, describing his inner conflicts, said, “There are two dogs inside of me: one is cruel and evil; the other is good and docile. They are always fighting.”
When asked which dog would win the fight, the wise man stopped for a moment, thought carefully, and replied: “The one that I feed the most.”
When I was a child, I used to be mocked by school mates, as well as by some adults. My physical defects gave them more to make fun of and they took advantage of that, and so my insecurities grew. It was my encounter with the Lord Jesus that changed my life. He killed the evil dog and I became free. And so I gave my whole life to Him.
My sacrifice created serious consequences in hell. As a result, those who live in hell began to hate me and criticism against me multiplied!
So what? The evil dog is dead. Who will be able to bring it back to life?
I keep moving forward and conquering together with Him. Good for the Kingdom of God. Bad for the kingdom of evil.
God bless you all abundantly.

I totally agree bishop sometimes we care so much about our image before people, caring about what people will say or think of us. Should not care about what people say, more like care about what God thinks
