"A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."
Proverbs 22:1-3
The Scriptures say that a good name is better than gold. .... we must do good just because it is right and not because we are preoccupied with our good name. We must live realizing that not all look at life the same way we do and so " the name" is not the same before everybody's eyes. In the end what matters is how we have lived our life, whether in peace, in joy, and in keeping with the teachings of our Master. Work not then for the good name, but to glorify Him, and enjoy Him; the end result remains with Him. He is our Rock and our Protector.
