The Lord is my light and my
salvation, whom shall I fear ps 26;1,3
Does it matter if I have a reputation
better or worse than others?
I don’t have a high opinion of my
own excellence
I have particular guard against
touchiness on points of honour
But I still have a good taste in my
mouth
I live free just as I have always
desired
My mind, heart and conscience is
free of all burden
A bad conscience is not healed by
flattery
Nor a good one wounded by gossip
He that praises me cannot take away
the punishment I deserve for my evil deeds
Neither can he that reviles me
deprive me of the rewards of my good works
Why then will I seek to please
people?
It is rubbish if I stand high on
the opinion of people and be unacceptable to God
It don’t care if I’m ignored and
detested by people
I’m just fine if I’m dear and
pleasing to God
But woe to me, if I can neither
swim nor catch a straw
It will be a nightmare if I am
detested by both God and people
I know I can’t really make it up to
God
But his graces will not abandon me
if I give a try
If God send me into the combat
He certainly will not leave me
defeated
If you seek to help, it is not
necessary that you pry
A weak spirituality necessarily
must not be a result of an evil life
There are laws to hold me back, and
punishments to chastise me
