But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.
1 Peter 3:15
Do not let anyone discount your testimony. It is your story that glorifies God. It is remain in your heart. There are those that will tempt you, instigate you, even taunt you in order to get you to react in a negative way. But we want people to see Jesus through us at all times therefore we must guard our tongue and be mindful of our actions. There are many times when I want to tell someone what I think or when I want to respond to the critic but the Lord tells me to stay graceful and not respond. It is the self control and humility He has given me that makes it possible. We are human, our flesh wants to respond in sin but when we learn the battle is the Lord's and to hold our tongue at all times we win. Our testimony remains intact and we are blessed. So don't let anyone steal your joy. You are blessed and highly favored. And you are beautiful in God's sight. Never stop sharing what He did in your life.
