Seek to know God, not just to know more about God.

The world determines worth by its own standards. The Lord settled yours once and for all at the cross: worthy.

Faithfulness to God and approval from people will eventually conflict — and the servant who knows their audience is the Lord will always know which to choose.

Discouragement isn't evidence that your work is wasted. It's evidence that you're still in the fight — and Paul says none of it is in vain.
