Free From The Opinions Of People

It matters very little to me what you think of me.
1 Corinthians 4:3

While we should respect the opinions of others, we should never be ruled by them.
If you let it, criticism will steal your individuality, rob you of your creativity, and stop you from fulfilling your destiny. That's too much power to give anybody.
Insecure people will always criticise you, especially if your choices differ from theirs. That's because they're uncomfortable with things that don't conform to their way of thinking.
Secure people can handle being the only one doing something.They can allow others the liberty to be different and to make their own choices.
That's because they themselves are secure in who God has called them to be.

Listen: "[He] made himself of no reputation" ( Philippians 2:7).
Jesus obviously wasn't too concerned about what others thought of Him.
He had a goal - to do the Father's will - no more and no less.
And He knew that to do it He had to be free from the opinions of others. So do you!
The greatest tragedy that could happen to you would be to grow old and realise that somewhere along the way you lost yourself and never succeeded at being the person God called you to be. And that's a distinct possibility if you allow the opinions of others to rule your life. Paul says, "It matters very little to me what you think of me,even less where I rank in popular opinion.
I don't even rank myself...The Master makes that judgment"
( 1 Corinthians 4:3-5 ).

Today, ask God to set you free from the opinions of others.
