1 Thessalonians 2

Paul did not preach the gospel for the approval of men; he only cared about pleasing God. Because he cared about the people he was trying to reach, he made every effort not to be a burden to them and encouraged them to live a life pleasing to the Lord.

To share the gospel effectively, we must honestly care for those we share with. Make God the focus of your motivation and He will take care of the rest. Since He is the only one we need to please, we need to make sure we are doing what He wants us to do and that we are doing it with the right heart.
