Your destiny is not hooked up to how others view you so stop trying to please them because it is unproductive.What is important is how you consider yourself and how the Lord sees you. Luke 13:10-17 speaks of a woman who was sick for eighteen years. By people's opinion, she was unclean but the Lord saw her in her weakness and healed her. Knowing that God sees you when you are hurting is vital to your breakthrough. So regardless how people perceive you or treat you, while you are going through your struggles begin to praise God for your victory, for your healing, for your deliverance and for the people who stood against you. It is through your struggles and opposition that God will bring to birth his promises for you. The word of God says "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in good health even as your soul prosper." 3 John 2:2. So, as we journey through 2018, be confident that God sees you.
