Jesus said, ""Alas for you when the world speaks well of you. This was the way their ancestors treated the false prophets"
Luke 6:26

The world's approval or condemnation is of little significance. Every man and woman and child is before the Father continually, responding for good or ill to His bountiful provision. And each will be judged according to their character of that response.

And as each responds so does he become; for the children of the Father reveal in what they are that which they have done or failed to do in the Father's vineyard. Either they have lived for the glory of the Father in a greater or lesser degree and worked for the well-being of their fellowmen according to the opportunities put before them or they have not, but have served their own interests and lived selfishly to a greater or lesser degree.

Let all the beloved, committed children of the Father disregard the opinion of others in what they are or do and seek only the Father's will and good purpose. Herein lies fulfilment and joy, both here and in the distant future. Problems there will be , and pain and sorrow. But I shall be with them to the end of time and into eternity where pain and sorrow are no more but eternal rejoicing.
