Why is the opinion of another so valuable to us?
Because the taking up of The Cross is a process.
The life of the flesh is all horizontal and depends on and relates to illusion only.
Soldier, His opinion is the one that matters. If others misunderstand, they will see the truth in heaven.
If others have opinions that are grander than reality, those opinions stroke and feed a place that needs to die.
An older woman once told me that negative criticism and accolades should be received the same way by a Christian.
Neither should penetrate and both should be dealt with by The Cross.
