Jesus pointed out in the Gospel of John that those who seek to get glory from other people do not believe Him and do not have the love of the Father in them (Jn.5:41-44).
There's a big point to apply here...
If we're preoccupied with living our lives in such a way that we receive glory from those around us, we're going to miss the life God has for us...
... because our focus will be in all the wrong places.
To experience the life God has for us, we need to seek a greater glory... the glory of life with Him in His kingdom, doing the work He's called us to do...
... no matter how menial that work might appear to a watching world.
