The reason people will attack you never really has anything to do with you. It stems from their OWN evil thoughts that they entertain and from wanting and not getting their way.

When someone is filled with the Holy Spirit’s power and is zealous to do good, their “fire” for God will always expose their enemies. It was the fire that made the snake come out and bite Paul.

“Paul gathered a pile of sticks for the fire. He was putting the sticks on the fire, and a poisonous snake came out because of the heat and bit him on the hand.”
Acts 28:3

Just because someone has been in your life for many years, doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a point at which you finally decide to let go.

Your past and your pain will certainly impact you,
but they don’t have to define you. You get to write your own definition.
