Donโt concern yourself with being right in othersโ eyes. And donโt secretly hope that their lives will fall apart so that your opinion will be vindicated. Instead, concentrate on obeying God in your own life and, when possible, helping others to obey Him as well. You donโt have to prove others wrong to continue on the course you know God has shown you.

The path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart.
