"We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors." 2 Corinthians 6:8
The opposite of people pleasers! You've got to love Paul for his singlemindedness. My perspective gets a bit out a whack sometimes. For instance, because of I read of disciples & apostles in the Bible and admire them, I think they must have been admired in their day. I forget that they were definitely in the minority and were often slandered as opposed to praised. I really like their standing their ground, though -- their bold seeking of truth and goodness.
