Being liked is not a bad thing. Being disliked is not necessarily a bad thing, either. What matters is "why" someone likes you or doesn't like you. When we seek admiration from EVERYONE, we compromise who we should be and who we most likely want to be. We shouldn't go out of our way to be disliked. However, we also shouldn't go "away" from who we are to be liked.
Lord, You matter more than the admiration of others who most likely have less invested in me than You do.
