Nobody's doormat!

Jesus was so confident in God's favor that He was not desperate for validation from anyone or anything. He shut demons up when they tried to testify about Him. He did not need their endorsement. He was not desperate for a good word from them.

Which devils are you bowing down to, because you feel that you need validation from them? What mistreatment? What unfairness? What diminishing roles have you stooped to, in order for that person to put in a good word for you? What unseemly roles have you deteriorated into because you are desperate for that person to return a favor?

Change strategy. Start studying God's favor, decree it over your life, recover your dignity and walk tall. If God is for you, you don't need to be anybody's slave to advance in life. Be diligent with God's favor and you won't need to be diligent about being someone's doormat.

You are blessed.
