“And the Lord said, ‘To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying:
“We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you”
And you did not weep.”
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, “He has a demon.” The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, “Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!” But wisdom is justified by all her children.’”

You might do the same thing for two different people and get opposite responses. If we worry about pleasing people, we will never have true peace, direction, or security. Aim to please God above all, and you will prove the righteousness of His ways above all else (Romans 12:1, 2; II Timothy 2:15).
Wisdom is justified by all her children,
Van
