The apostle Paul also refused to take credit for his spiritual insight and influence. Although he admitted he had worked hard and suffered much to encourage the faith, hope and love of so many, but he did not accept the applause of those who were inspired by him.
We are only messengers of the One who deserves our cheers. We must give honor to God, not men. – by (Mart Dehaan)
