In this life we will be criticized, slandered and discouraged by those who would enjoy holding us back. But it’s a waste of time to respond to every negative thing said about us. “…Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith…”
(Hebrews 12:1,2)
