PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT YOU behind your back and criticize you, but that’s none of your business. You, dear saint of God, must be about your Father’s business. “It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!” Matthew‬ ‭10:25‬ ‭Jesus further says, “Do not fear them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed.”

Some people are easily offended, just look at them sideways and you can set them off. Call a man a man and you will set their whole world on fire. But, this reaction should not be yours. I learned a long time ago that people WILL talk about me, even those who claim to be my friends; but if my focus remains on the Lord and what He’s asked me to do, then my walk is not hindered. As Spurgeon once said, I’ve done worse than people even think. It’s ok.

What you think or say about me in none of my business. My Father’s business is my business. I chose to not be offended. I refuse to let anyone hinder my walk or keep me from being in His presence and the fellowship of the saints. Offense is a choice. Let them talk about you. KEEP RUNNING. Does it hurt? Sometimes, but is it really true? Those who know you and love you would never believe a lie. You don’t have to defend yourself to anyone. Maintain your integrity and your tongue. You answer to God alone and He will reveal all things in His time.#runyourrace
