[__ Prayer __] rumor mill

[Christ_empowered]

ugh. Truth? God has extended some serious grace my way. "life isn't fair sometimes." blah. no kidding. but God...is and has been kind to me, especially since I got saved, a tad over 6 years ago. and...

now, I'm -still- dealing with a rumor mill. I guess it wouldn't bother me so much if people weren't so passive aggressive about it with me...even here, in my new place, there's some people who will deliberately talk loudly enough for me to hear, but not quite yelling, about things that are none of their business, anyway, and...on top of that...

some of what they say clearly has to do with psych stuff that should have been kept confidenital, but wasn't, because my "treatment providers" were pretty much all about "teaching him a lesson," etc. control and destruction, basically. the other thing...

a lot of what they basically force me to listen to, by talking at that volume, is.not.true, which is frustrating, but...I don't know these people, they clearly do not speak to or with me, they just talk -at- me, because...yeah, I don't really know why, lol.

on the surface, a lot of it looks like what "mental patients" go thru, especially "trouble makers..."

dig a little deeper, and I think a long term Christian friend is right; its just satan, plus mean spirited people...fabulous combination, btw. LOL.

i think im dealing with a much, much better...that's The Lord's work in my life. it helps to be in a place that belongs to family, because...yeah...being a renter as a 'mental patient' is...a precarious situation, no matter how good a tenant one proves to be.

ok. So, as always: God is Good! People...not so much. oh well. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about what others has to say about you.
Just please God.
It shall not prosper.
Isa.54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper,
And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of Me, Saith the Lord.

Reward!

I know it hurts us sometimes, and I have even cried about what one say, imagine what Jesus went through.
He understands and it hurts Him also.
Just stay strong and wait on that Blessed Hope, keep your eyes on the prize, per se.

thanks. seriously.

The Scripture verses help. Plus...ugh..."it is what it is." Sometimes...I think God allows some of this so I can see what people in the world are -really like- (of course, I was too, till a bit over 6 years ago)...

that makes going back into the world that destroyed me a -whole lot- less appealing.

I think you should be praising the Lord. I'm pretty sure I've read a scripture that says blessed are those who are slandered and persecuted and are innocent and non provoking to the...(haters).

They beat the tar out of Paul and he walked away rejoicing big time! I think the more they slamder you and you humbly walk away that you will receive rewards for that in Heaven.

I gotta go. I just stopped home for a part and a couple tools. Working today! Praise the Lord!

 

[Christ_empowered]

yeah...im familiar with that verse. tough one to accept, LOL.

my cousin--he's born again, now in ministry--says to take it as a back-handed compliment, as in...well, at least I'm a genuine conversion. something like that, anyway.

thanks.

What you say can mean life or death.
Those who speak with care will be rewarded. Proverbs 18:21 NCV

I was just listening to a sermon about words. Our words must mean something. I shudder to think what rumor mongers are doing to themselves with their words.
