Sometimes I question myself. Do I really mean what I am saying when talk I about God's love and salvation? What proof have I to show the people? Am I really a rightful witness for Jesus? Sometimes I doubt. And when this oppressive spirit darts its arrows at me, I shrink back and question my motives. Am I really living for Jesus or am I just showing myself off? Then, there is this conflict within me.

What is the right thing to do? Different people have different expectations. We cannot meet all these expectations at the same time. Even if we try, we will just end up getting miserable. We cannot please all people at the same time. But there is one person that we need to please for all time - God. And God is never that hard to please because He already is pleased with us even before we ever thought of pleasing him.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:10-12)
