Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

 
      Just because you are being misunderstood doesn't mean you have done something wrong. Remember that sharing in His sufferings can not happen when everyone likes you and thinks you are the cat's meow.
     If you have done something that doesn't line up with the Word, confess it. If you have done it against someone, you may want to confess it to that person. Maybe not - much wisdom should be exercised in this so that the other person is not held responsible to relieve your guilt feelings.
     However, part of the real Christian life is being misunderstood. Decide in prayer that it is His business and not yours. If you don't, you will limp for the rest of your time on earth.
    Time spent with God's people, His Word, and prayer make heaven more real than earth. His delight with obedience becomes closer and more desirable than human approval.
     Nothing eternal has ever been accomplished by popularity, and it never will be!
