Please God not people! This is not always so easy, at least it wasn’t in the beginning of my journey. I don’t know many people that don’t want to be loved, accepted, and approved by their fellows! Yet in some instances when we commit to be obedient to God’s will for our lives it upsets others. What do you do then?
I have found that it has been helpful to pray! It helped me to remember that Jesus wasn’t accepted either. Jesus was accused of blasphemy. He was denied by His fellows as well as betrayed. He loved the unlovable and those people who were shunned by mainstream society. He died on the cross for all sin.
It is hard to witness gossip, ridicule, and mean behavior from adults who say they love God. We must always remember that God made each one of us in His image, we don’t have to agree with each other and we do not have to ice out people who think differently than we do! Jesus came with a new command: Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and love one another as you love yourself! Let’s remember to share that message!
