Friend, there is no need to try to explain yourself to others. There are some people that will always find fault in you. That is between them and God. Do not let someone who can never fully understand your heart and only knows portions of your life, dictate your thoughts toward yourself and God’s plan for your life. Just keep being the person that God has called you to be. This world is full of critics. People were critical of Jesus. People that even claimed to love God. Friend, if there is anyone out there that is making you feel less than because of their unloving ways; please know you are more than. More than someone’s assumptions, someone’s opinions, judgements, or own conclusions. For God does fully understand your heart and He knows your past, your present and your future. Find your worth in who He says that you are. For you are loved, cherished, and created for a purpose. Remember that even the best of critics always falls short when going up against God. Keep on the path ahead my friend. Do not be discouraged. For if God is standing with you, who can stand against you?

I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Romans 8:31 NIV

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
