don't be impressed with your own wisdom

What would it look like if you were so content with the commendation of God that you became liberated from the incessant need to save face with other people?

What would happen if you began to hold your reputation so lightly before men because you were so content with your standing with God?

If you held your reputation as of little value before people, you would finally be free to live bold, daring, courageous, future shaping lives that revel in the approval of God and seek that for other people.
