Via Dana Katana:
A few years ago I learned that someone did not care for me based on the lies they were told by someone else. They tried to damage our reputation and spoke bad about us to people in our circle. It hurt at the time - I’m human
.

.
I worked through it, grew myself, stayed the course, and continued to build my business with integrity
.
.
.
Today I learned that this individual is still speaking negatively about me. Today it didn’t hurt. I realize it’s a her issue and not a me issue. I took the stones and built a mountain of success

Most people don’t like themselves - don’t worry when they don’t like you. The fruits you bear will be the result of your heart and character....let your success speak for itself 🏆

Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah was a priest in the territory of Benjamin. And God chose him to be a prophet to Israel and other countries.
In Jeremiah 1:4-10 (CEV), it is recorded what God said to him:
"4 The Lord said:
5 “Jeremiah, I am your Creator,
and before you were born,
I chose you to speak for me
to the nations.”
6 I replied, “I’m not a good speaker, Lord, and I’m too young.”
7 “Don’t say you’re too young,” the Lord answered. “If I tell you to go and speak to someone, then go! And when I tell you what to say, don’t leave out a word! 8 I promise to be with you and keep you safe, so don’t be afraid.”
9 The Lord reached out his hand, then he touched my mouth and said, “I am giving you the words to say, 10 and I am sending you with authority to speak to the nations for me. You will tell them of doom and destruction, and of rising and rebuilding again.”
When God chose Moses as the one to lead the Jews out of Egypt, Moses complained about the burden of speaking. So God gave Moses Aaron as a spokesperson! No such luck for Jeremiah!!
Are you reluctant to speak out for God? So were some of the people God chose as prophets! We're not prophets like Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel - but God promises to be with us when we give witness to all He has done! Rest comfortably in His arms!!
