God Keep you in His sight

Let Me tell you a secret. You can be winner without putting anybody down. Look around you. Who are the people that are the most stressed out and unhappy? Aren't they the ones who are constantly trying beat other people out? The one who put other people down to make themselves look good? You can pull for others instead of trying to beat them out. Your only competition should be between yourself as you are and yourself as you want to be. In that competition, your own progress will be your prize. As you learn to always pull for others without pushing yourself to the front, you'll find that I'll lift you up. At times, God will be the only witness to your righteous behavior. Sometimes God is the only one who will understand your motives. Sometimes you will do all you know God has asked you to do, only to face ridicule from others. At such times all you can do is maintain your integrity, trusting that God always keeps His eyes on you. God looks favorably upon those who walk with integrity; doing what they know is right, regardless of how others percieve theirs action. Humble yourself before the Lord, and  he will lift you up. (James 4:18). Take Joseph was a righteous man who had cultivated a reputation for godliness in his community. Then word spread across the community that Mary, the woman to whom he was engage, was expecting a child. There would be many who would assume the worst of this apparently scandalous situation. Joseph probably experience gossip from some, ostracism from others. Yet he was a man of integrity, aware that God knew the truth of his relationship with Mary. In (Psalm 41:12). As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, And set me before your face forever. The most important thing is not that people know the truth. The most important thing is that you are a person of integrity before God. When no one seems to understand why you have done something or when others question whetber you have done all you should have done, your confidence should not be in the hope of vindication in in the eyes of others. It should be in the knowledge that God keeps in His sight. If you have this confidence, it will be enough to sustain you. And they will be in your side.
