Worried about what other people will say about you?

Ever not do something because you were afraid of what other people may think?
Especially if it comes to talking about God?

Guess what?   You might as well do it, because people are always going to have their opinions.
And...
Guess what again....
They are not always going to agree with you.

"Rest more with Me.  Refilling with My Spirit is a need.   That dwelling apart, shutting yourself away in the very secret place of your being- alone with Me.   From these times you come forth in power to heal and bless."   - God Calling  

But sometimes we are afraid to let others know that we love You.   Why?   Because we know we will mess up.   We know we will fall short of being a sign of Your Presence.  We talk about You, and dimly know how we are to behave.   Yet so much of our worldly nature still comes through us.  

Please help us to know and love each other.  
Please help us, even though we can see each other's failings,
help us to encourage each other in our strengths.

Help us not to turn on each other when we see each other's faults.
But help us to remember the strengths and the good.

Help us to to point to the giftedness in each other, not the sinfulness and weakness.  

Help us to build each other up and not point fingers and tear each other down.

If you ever feel in your faith walk that you have failed or fallen, or have been taken by surprise,
there is hope that we will be wiser and more humble in the future. -Abandonment to Divine Providence

When we feel like we fall, get knocked off of our feet, it doesn't have to be the end.
We can get up and walk with Him to guide us-
We can walk in the humility of knowing that only He is perfect.

"All of you together are His, and each one of you is necessary."    1 Cor. 12:27
