It is a sad existence to attempt to fulfill ourselves through the praise of other people. When we are in Christ we can walk alone without the need for validation from others. Our work is our pleasure and our accomplishments no matter how small seem a great blessing.
Isaiah 41:10
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
When we have been rejected by most people merely because we do not think the way they do we know we have been identified with Christ.
All the apostles and Christ Himself experienced rejection because they were not like the world, they had something better and deeper to offer anyone who wanted what they had.
Our desire to walk with Christ and His strength to do so is the most valuable things we can ever have.
