May 13 – Pleasing God, Not People

In today’s episode, Pastor Jenny Dirmann shares a devotion from 1 Thessalonians 2, reflecting on Paul’s heart and approach as he ministered to the church in Thessalonica. Paul reminds the believers that his goal was never to please people or seek recognition, but to faithfully please God while boldly proclaiming the gospel. At the same time, he ministered with gentleness, care, and sacrificial love—like a parent cherishing their own children. This message encourages listeners to examine their own motives and remember that sharing the gospel is not about gaining approval or attention, but about faithfully loving people and pointing them to Jesus. As we boldly live out our faith with humility, kindness, and surrender, God works through our lives to reveal His love to others.Today’s Reading:May 13 – Isaiah 1–4; 1 Thessalonians 2
