When somebody judges you, what do you do? I know I would tell my friends. What do your friends usually say? They say you you have two choices, believe they are right, or prove them wrong.

But if you think about it, why do you have to prove them wrong? To feel accepted, to feel liked or wanted by that one person? But if you know that you are standing firm in Christ, does what they think honestly matter? 

If all we are doing is trying to be accepted, we aren't going to go very far. Why, do we feel like we need to be accepted, when Christ, the God of the universe, the creator of all, isn't even accepted.

Instead of trying to prove them wrong, can't we just talk to them, ask them about their thoughts and reasoning... Then just consider them?

Don't just always try to prove them wrong, they might not always be wrong. 

*Romans 2:1-3
