Something that brings me peace? Jesus walked this earth as the ONLY perfect person yet He was still hated. So, you know what…
They might hate you.
They might hate you when you stand up for yourself.
They might hate you when you speak up.
They might hate you for stepping back.
Even if you do it graciously.
Even if you do it kindly.
Even if you do it with love.
But friend, let them.
Because at the end of the day, you answer to God, not to people. He knows your heart. He knows the truth. And His opinion is the only one that lasts.
When you stand before God on judgement day… none of their opinions or actions will be there to save you or hold you back, so walk tall. Walk in peace. Walk in His plan.
Don’t waste energy trying to prove yourself. Release it. Let it go. Rest in Him.
In the end, you won’t regret standing firm, protecting your heart or your peace, and walking in integrity. You won’t regret choosing obedience over approval.
Their opinions can change with the wind. God’s truth never will.
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
So breathe deep. Let their opinions fall away. And remember you are fully seen, fully loved, and fully held by the One whose voice matters most.
XO,
Your friend Deevala
