Galatians 1:10

"For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." Galatians 1:10

How can I be more bold to confess the truth of God to others despite of what they may think or say? 

Man's approval is fickle. There will always be someone you are not pleasing. It is clearly impossible to please everyone all the time. It's also exhausting!

Please God is loving him with all your might, soul, and strength. What about whole-hearted love of others that isn't concerned with their approval?

His yoke is easy!

God of truth and light. You are good and you are worthy of all my praise. I confess that I sometimes put other people before you. I aim to be likable more than I aim to be godly. Help me to bold in sharing your gospel. Do not let me fear the disapproval or even HATRED of other people.  

Love God. 

Love others.

That's the gospel boiled down to its essentials.
