How do you handle unsolicited criticism? Does your pride get hurt after you’ve done your best and still are scoffed at? How do you handle criticism from other Christians for doing the will of God? Yes, it’s difficult. But you need to cary on with a patient endurance. This endurance you can surely draw from your faith to overcome any criticism.

Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone.
Matthew 25:14 (NLT)
Have you ever loaned out a tool, your car, or serving platter only to find the item broken, dented, or chipped when it was returned? This is a reflection of the stewardship of the other person. If you think about it, God has made us stewards too. He blesses us with food, shelter, and even relationships. One day we will have to account for the things God blessed us with. Are you the person who will return an item in better condition than when you received it?
