“We must accept that we will sometimes be misunderstood. Jesus was misunderstood, and He didn’t go around to each person to make sure they understood “His heart.” I’m all for making peace with others, but even Jesus could not be at peace with everyone.

When that happens, keep your focus on pleasing one person — Christ — and let the fruit of your life speak for itself.”
