If you are a believer in Christ who is following hard after Him, you can expect to encounter those who would attempt to cause you to fail or make your failures seem as though you are a loser not worthy of respect and honor. We have been and will continue to be accused of things we didn't do or intentions we didn't have, simply because the narcissist hates anyone who loves Christ. Demeaning, mocking and maligning are the favorite tactics of the devil. If he can get us to believe we are not capable, then he can effectively stop us from living for Christ. When we know that it is Christ in us Who motivates us, we don't have to worry about "being successful", we can do our best and pray for the Lord to work through us.
Make no mistake, we will not be loved or accepted, it is what Christ promised, but we can remain confident moving forward in obedience to Christ no matter what those devilish naysayers are doing.
Our focus must be Christ in these last days. When we diminish the power of the narcissist by refusing to take seriously their tactics, while realizing they are being controlled by the evil one, we increase our power to keep going in spite of all odds.
Brothers and Sisters....remember David and Goliath, David did not shrink from someone seemingly much more powerful than he was, because his God was far bigger than that giant. If we can see life as a believer this way, we can continue to walk with Christ without regret and without fear.
Remember that it is Christ Who is good not us, all our confidence should be in Him not ourselves.
