Everyone has alot to say, especially when they think you could or should do something other than what you are doing. If you are not chasing the same thing others in the group are, maybe you aren't like-minded. Having all the toys and things the world has to offer makes you better to give... or it could make it harder.. if all your stuff isn't paid for and you have more debt that controls your time and mind. Now a days the "democracy" way of thinking has creeped into all aspects of life.. "Education, Healthcare, Medical Procedures, Government, Legal Proceedings, Marriage, Employment, Child Raising...Church leadership, Ministry...everything is a debate and a fight of wills and human intellect but as soon as you answer the questions.
What were you thinking? How can you keep accepting this behavior? Why don't you give them a piece of your mind.. (which is my favorite! to which....I like to say it is not mine to give away and then I would only have "part of my brain left for the next debate and would be less intellectual than my opposer.). The weight of public opinion in heavy...but the weight of unfulfilled expectations or desires of family and friends is crushing sometimes... but Hope is in the WORD~~1 Peter 5:7! and Psalms 139:1-16, 23-24, Proverbs 1:7
I have several videos, songs and verses that I use to encourage myself and others when we are under criticizim for something and are called to explain ourselves or defend our motives, actions and beliefs. I have learned through several painful situations that it is best not to defend yourself.. We say HE IS our all in all. His ways are best and His hand is on our life and if we are whole heartedly living it and walking with HIM then talk to HIM and stay in HIS HANDS, Look to his Face and let them figure out what He says to them.
The Golden RULE is the way to go... once you have been under the microscope and felt the "Burn of public opinion" and the spight of the grapevine and be voted out... Keep your focus, Joy and HEART ! You are a "wonderfully and fearfully made masterpiece"! and you are not finished yet!!!!! But, you are not expected by the Creator, to complete the work that he started in you. HE IS GOING TO COMPLETE you! HE IS THE ALL IN ALL. He layed the cornerstone and that is not just a word, it is "The ONE" that came in John 3:16. and once that belief...is then put into action by growing, TRUSTING HIM!, LOVING HIM with all your heart, your mind and your body. Not your mates, your friends, your children's... YOU do your right work to work out YOUR faith and salvation.. as He leads YOU! share and encourage others to try your path if they haven't found one yet.. but help them to connect and find their way. Conflict and hurt feeling is usually a sign someone is not wearing the Armor fully, has an unconfessed matter to take up with God, who will lead them to restore relationship damaged by their wrong doing, or someone is working outside of the Design plan. all of which will be revealed through prayer. Which we are supposed to be doing ceaselessly.
I see fine.. and I am ok just the way I am, or GOD will let me know... I have purpose and power given to me by my maker and this world nor anyone in it can take that from me by using my faults, treasures or fears against me. He IS ABLE TO MAKE THINGS WORK FOR MY GOOD! and THINGS and Weapons formed against me will not profit, things meant to be a curse or hurt will be turned to good and not harm. According to his promises, which I have FAITH AND HOPE in and through them.
Here are my favorite videos and songs I shared this morning on facebook.... Let it be ~&~ is my new favorite, several songs I have used as inspiration for years! and some see it others don't yet but they will "someday". http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/dot.wiggins.92
