Lies and Rumors…A lesson I wish I would’ve learned a long time ago…

It’s was amazing to me (not really anymore) how many of your enemies and so-called friends will just tell straight up lies and stories about you when you decide to no longer live like they do. The irony is I never have or will judge them and I haven’t forgotten where I came from, although they take every opportunity to judge my every action. This used to drive me crazy because I was still trying to help them while at the same time they were stabbing me in the back, I was never really offended by their actions because it’s not about me it’s about Jesus and helping others, but I’m still human so at times it was frustrating I’ll admit. The reality is it will NEVER stop me from continuing to help anyone! I keep in mind “they know not what they say or do”.,. and yes I remember where I came from and how I used to be, but I eventually came to the epiphany/revelation due to the perspective shift you get from “dieing to self” and following Jesus. Although the flip side of these people telling stories and lies about you is the great service that’s being done for you that you haven't experienced yet. You begin to realize that anyone who lacks the ability to form their own opinion through their own personal experience with you, and relies on the opinions of others to formulate their opinion of you, well nobody needs those kind people in their life anyway! So pray for them and thank them for all their rumors, lies, and stories because they’ve done you a great service to weed out the people who don’t think for themselves so we can keep the real people we need in our lives that are truly for us…God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
