"Let Them TALK"

Hey guys :) I'm getting better at these right, like I'm trying to keep my promise ... seeing as you guys are my inter web buddies ! So today we are going to be talkingggg about a topic close to my heart, lungs and kidneys (good joke or nah ? Nah ? oh alright ... moving on) titled "He said She said" and I hope you are blessed by the message.

So as A Human in general, let's not even talk about being a Christian, let's talk on a basic level, a human level. As a human I know how much people can talk about you maybe a few sly comments like "Did she even iron her clothes?" "I heard that she ...." "I heard that he ...." And this whole repetition of "I heard this and I heard that" seems to drive us coconuts. Sometimes it's as if people will just CONSTANTLY pick on something about your life. Sooooo, imagine being a Christian on top of that, do you know the way your name will just be FLYING out of people's mouths ? My goodness boothannggg ! You don't even want to know !
I am actually living proof of such things. When I first started making blog posts I heard a few sly comments from people saying "What is she doing ?" "Why is she forcing it?" "Does she think she's going to blow?" And at first I was ready to just FLIP ! Like "who do they think they are to talk about what I'm doing to grow in my faith ? Is it them who I am serving ? Watch when I see them and *bleep* -" Let me just stop there before you think I'm aggressive and the bible does say in  " .... let every person be QUICK to hear, SLOW to speak, SLOW to anger, for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God" (James 1:19-20)

The point I am basically trying to make here is that the second you give your life to Christ, not only is the devil out to get you (even though he wont because your a child of God boo !) people will also try to get at you for many reasons. Some being that they are weak in their faith and don't want to admit that they want to grow stronger, another reason being that they are just bored with life and another reason that all they like to do is TALK. And as a Christian, you need to just LET THEM TALK and not be shaken by the words of their mouth and even the thoughts of their hearts. If I had let the words of people affect me do you think I will still be blogging? Heaven no ! (instead of Hell ... get it ? Still a bad joke?, ouch tough crowd I got here -_-)  I know why I blog for personal reasons and even if it touches one person I would still continue to blog, 100 people criticizing my posts will not phase me, and you shouldn't be phased by them either !
People will laugh at you, lie to your face and talk talk talk just because you have something that they don't and that is CHRIST. So don't be quick to anger, keep them in prayers constantly and continue to focus on YOUR journey. In my last post I was talking about a "race", the race called life. (Check it out if you haven't ) Whilst you are running, people to your left and right will try to put you off reaching your finish line. DO NOT LOOK LEFT OR RIGHT. Just STAY FOCUSSED boo ! Because whilst you are looking towards your finish line, and focussing on running your own race, they are the ones who are taking THEIR eyes off their OWN race and loose focus. You can keep them in prayers constantly as we are not to wish evil upon our neighbours, whether they know Christ or not they should still be lifted and also helped. As the Bible says in (Romans 15:1-2) it says "We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please our neighbour for his own good, to build him up" so always let "brotherly love continue" (Hebrews 13:1)

As people it is easy to be put off just because of a few comments one may say about us but understand and remember that people DO NOT need to understand your individual journey that God has placed before you. Remember we are all different, you may be at stage 5 someone else at stage 2, that doesn't mean that the are inferior to you because you are stronger in Christ. But to them they can talk all they want about you being at Stage 5 because they ARE NOT IN Stage 5. So how could someone on a different stage understand your stage ?
Don't be thrown off by the words of others, you know the God you're serving and you know what is helping you get closer to him, so Hang tight boothang !
And if you are reading this and you ARE the one doing all the judging and the one who is always talking? "Do not judge or you too WILL BE judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" (Matthew 7:1-2)
