Let Go of Hurtful Words

 

It’s time to let “hurtful” words bounce off us like water off a duck’s back. If someone tries to belittle you…if they try to make you look and feel stupid, don’t go into defense mode. If we do that, we spend all our time trying to prove to them and everybody else that we’re really a good person. We think about every move we’re making and wonder if “that” person will be okay with our decisions and actions. Our destiny in Christ is too great to waste time trying to defend ourselves against unkind people.
