"If someone says something

unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it."

Wow, what a neat thing to think about. And what a good thing to do. It is hard to go on with your daily life when you know that someone has said something unkind to someone else about you. It hurts deep down inside. It hurts your mind and everything about you. Can you do anything to get it taken back? No . It is like the feathers of the pillow that was ripped open and tossed into the wind. It wont come back. But we can live in a way that people can see the truth about us and therefor know what kind of person we are.

Can you do that and let the unkind words go away? Sure, maybe not alone but knowing that God knows all about you and loves you no matter what will give you the courage and the grace and joy to overlook the unkind words and be happy. Maybe if the unkind thing is true, you will let God do an overhaul and show others that with God all things are possible. Everyone can change and be a better person, If they want to, If they let God help.
