God has given us such riches in Christ that if we just knew how rich we were, we wouldn’t crave other things as if our lives depended on them. We don’t need people’s respect. It’s healthy to want it. It’d be weird not to. But ultimately we don’t need it. The world could hold you in contempt and if God holds you in His esteem, you’re golden. Message by Pastor Allen Snapp given to All Saints at Grace Community Church in Corning, Painted Post, Watkins Glen, New York.
