THERE WILL ALWAYS BE.

Whenever you want to do something great, there will always be voices discouraging you, voices of the devil. You need to accept that jealousy is inevitable, people will always get jealous when you progress and the reason being that it wasn’t them who did it. Some people would appreciate you and learn from you while others would hate and try to find faults in everything you do. Winston Churchill said and i quote. “You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
“If you want to avoid criticisms in life, then do nothing, say nothing and be nothing” Elbert Hubbard.
By agreeing with Elbert Hubbard, you would realize that avoiding criticisms is to be nothing. Criticism is the evidence of greatness.
What you need to do to critics is to love them, love them from a distance and relate carefully. Don’t let any hater turn you to a hater, don’t hate back-love them and on the last day they will give account.”I tell you, on the day of judgement people will give account for every careless word they speak.”(Matthew 12:36).
You need to accept the fact that people will always complain, not everyone would like you no matter what you do. Not everyone is going to be pleased, so why please people that are impossible to please? There is the feeling of freedom when you don’t live to please any earthly being. Try to understand that the good in you will always stir up the bad in others.
Do you think that by walking up to your neighbor who isn’t pleased with you and giving him chocolates which happen to be his obsession would stop him from criticizing you? Even by giving him the chocolates would stir up comments like?
-What is he/she feeling like?
-Does he/she thinks that he is Santa-Clause or something?
You’ve got to learn to live your life the way it pleases you and pleases God, accept the fact that there will always be critics. You don’t have to care about what they are going to say, i like to call such people the impediments to ones success. God permits trials and temptations in our lives, He doesn't tempt or try us but allows them for His glory to be manifested. It could be that He wants to test you or even to increase your faith but you must know that it is all for a reason.
The best way to handle criticism is to shake it off, live free from these destiny distractions because they are nothing but draining mechanisms.
Beloved,
what thou seek is impossible,
You can't please them all,
There will always be critics,
Faults you never knew of found,
You can't convince them all.
But Beloved, be happy,
Thou have done a great thing,
That's why thou seeth jealousy,
Spirits filled with envy,
Ye are on a path to greatness.
Disappointments will come,
Discouragements would fill the air,
Heartbreaks would say they are here,
People would sing hymns of failure,
For it is nothing but humans nature.
But Beloved
None of these exist with God.
Discouragements would fill the air,
Heartbreaks would say they are here,

For it is nothing but humans nature.
But Beloved
None of these exist with God.
'Yes' Trials would come,
Temptation all around you,
You would feel like giving in,
God would seem distant,
Everything seems to be scary,
Things got tougher.
Temptation all around you,
You would feel like giving in,
God would seem distant,
Everything seems to be scary,
Things got tougher.
But Beloved
Rejoice and give thanks,
Don't be bewildered
Or even surprised,
Don't lose faith
Or even give up.
Rejoice and give thanks,
Don't be bewildered
Or even surprised,
Don't lose faith
Or even give up.
You need to get tougher,
You need to get stronger,
God wants you closer,
Opportunity has been given
To do better.
You need to get stronger,
God wants you closer,
Opportunity has been given
To do better.
Transformation is taking place,
"For our lights and momentary
Troubles are achieving for us
An eternal glory that far outweighs
Them all."
"For our lights and momentary
Troubles are achieving for us
An eternal glory that far outweighs
Them all."
Thou must know,
Those were stepping stones,
It was all for a reason,
Your faith was tested,
Your faith has been strengthened.
It was all for a reason,
Your faith was tested,
Your faith has been strengthened.
It was all for Him,
It was all to show His glory,
For without His glory,
There would be nothing.
It was all to show His glory,
For without His glory,
There would be nothing.
So 'Yes', run to God
Put your hope in Him,
Praise Him despite the pain,
For there is a lesson
That must be learnt.
Put your hope in Him,
Praise Him despite the pain,
For there is a lesson
That must be learnt.
Thou must know
He is at the center,
He is the reason,
He won't leave thee
or abandon thee.
He won't leave thee
or abandon thee.
So Beloved, don't give in
For there is a way out.
For there is a way out.
Tsalla Emmanuel.
