Don't Take In Criticism
Now Miriam and Aaron talked against Moses [their brother] because of his Cu****e wife, for he had married a Cu****e woman. And they said, Has the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Has He not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it. Now the man Moses was very meek (gentle, kind, and humble). Numbers 12:1–3 Sometimes the people who are criticized the most are the ones who try to do something constructive with their lives. It amazes me how people who do nothing want to criticize those who try to do something. After many years of suffering over the criticisms of people and trying to gain their approval, I finally decided that if God is happy with me, that is enough. Each time someone criticizes you, try making a positive affirmation about yourself to yourself. Don't just stand by and take in everything anyone wants to dump on you. Establish independence! Have your own attitude about yourself and don't be defeated by criticism. During Winston Churchill's last year in office, he attended an official ceremony. Several rows behind him two gentlemen began whispering. "They say Churchill is getting senile." "They say he should step aside and leave the running of the nation to more dynamic and capable men." When the ceremony was over, Churchill turned to the men and said, "Gentlemen, they also say he is deaf!" Lord, at the end of the day, I want You to be happy with the way I lived, whether others criticize me or not. If You are happy with me, that's enough! Amen. From the book The Confident Woman Devotional: 365 Daily Devotions by Joyce Meyer
