What if you are not appreciated as a Christian. What should be our response.
If you have a nice character. What if they don't care about your good deeds or how you treat others, kindly. Sometimes that goes unnoticed.

Be more Christiany
 Love them anyways. Find people who do appreciate you. Be humble and reserved if they are bothered by it.

Well, I do not know how I would respond either. If people cannot understand good morals than they probably will not understand it even if I explain it to them.

No good deed, nothing done for the Lord will be for nothing.

I have learned over the years that I am not looking for appreciation from man . I am not here to please man . I am here to please my Saviour. and Him alone.

Heb 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
In all honesty if we do all things unto the Lord His appreciation is enough. Still I will say that I never met a human who did not respond to being appreciated and valued.

Am I missing something? This seems like a very odd thread to me. As a Christian it is my role to do things to please the Lord not people. If people appreciate it as well that is naturally great but it should not be my motivation.
People did not appreciate Jesus. What right do I have to expect to be better understood or more appreciated than Him?
