More on Words
(Son) take it not to heart if some people think ill of you,
and say of you what you are not willing to hear.
You ought to be the hardest judge of yourself
and think no man weaker than yourself.
If you walk interiorly (Spiritually) you will make small
account of flying words.
It is no small prudence to be silent in the evil time,
and to turn within to me,
and not be disturbed with the judgement of men.
Let not your peace be in the tongues of men,
for whether they judge well of you or ill,
you are not on that account other than yourself.
Where is true peace
and true glory?
Is it not in Me?
And he who seeks not to please men,
nor fears their displeasure,
shall enjoy much peace. Col. 3:22
All disquiet of the heart
and distraction of the senses
arise from inordinate love and vain fear.

You are so right! If we think about it long enough we can see that we are so off the mark at times...thank goodness He gave so many insightful people the ability to write it and keep it for us so we would have future reference.
