Move (emotionally) the Lord directly, and not through His subsidiaries. Networking is necessary, because we receive His grace through others. However, hankering for approval amongst fellow beings can become a dangerous obsession if not checked beyond the need to raise self-esteem. In any case, the word 'self' in self-esteem implies an inward orientation. In this age of direct marketing, market yourself directly to the Lord within. As with commercial direct marketing, the success rate is definitely higher, feedback is more personalised and the customer (our Lord) is more content, satisfied and happy.
