Sometimes you don't really know who it is that you are dealing with until you say or do something that someone doesn't like or agree with. I was raised to believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, beliefs, and choices. But I find it a bit ironic how people respond to you whenever your opinions, beliefs, and choices go against what they believe is best for you! But when you know, you just know! Does this mean that the other person is wrong about you? Not necessarily. But it may mean that they are wrong about who they interpret you to be or the level of potential they see. Just because you give a person glimpses of what is taking place in your life, it doesn't mean that they have your life or the direction that you are going all figured out. And it doesn't mean that they really know you. Just like people misinterpret the Word of God on a regular basis, people will misinterpret who you are and what you stand for. They will wholeheartedly believe that they have the answers for your life. But if that were the case, your life would be their life! Don't compromise who you are for who someone else thinks you should be. When you know that you hold the keys to the victories in your life, don't hand those keys over to someone else in hopes that they will be the one to unlock the doors to victory in your life or that they will be the one to make your dreams come true. Because in doing so, they may throw the keys away because their fear of your success may be greater than their hope for your success! So always believe in yourself and know that no matter what, as long as you continue to keep the keys to your own life close to your heart and the keys to your destiny in a very safe place. Everything will work out for your good. Be encouraged on today!
