You discover that you are a stranger living in exile when ...
you come to the point where you are unwilling to accept glory from anyone but God.
"I do not receive glory from men." John 5:41 NASB
"Nor did we seek glory from men." 2 Thess. 3:6 NASB
"Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God." 1 Cor. 4:5 NASB
"For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever." 2 Cor. 4:17, 18 New Living bible
