December 4

Try to please God.

God will not only be pleased with you for what you have done for Him, but also will forgive you for what you have not done.

Try to please a man.

There is no certainty that you will get any credit for what you have done for him. But be fully prepared to receive a volley of criticism for what you have not done for him.
