I'm realizing that no matter how hard I try, there are just some people that cannot be satisfied.
There will come a time in your life where you will pour your heart and soul into a project, and maybe you fail according to others' standards and expectations. I want you to remember not to give up. Satan will use all of the negativity to bring you down. He will try to get to you by saying you're not good enough. Know that you are good enough. Know that if you are following God's plan for your life...then you are exactly where you should be. The dissatisfaction from other people often springs from a dissatisfaction with their own life. They are unhappy with themselves, therefore they push that on other people.
We never know what's really going on in a person's heart. Only God does. If you perform the best you can and do it honorably...then you did nothing wrong.
Give people grace. Forgive them. Love them. Honor God with your heart AND your mouth.
"'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."
-Matthew 15:8
“When I am consumed by my problems-stressed out about my life, my family, and my job-I actually convey the belief that I think the circumstances are more important than God's command to always rejoice.”
― Francis Chan
