Clues to the Character of a Person

"Sometimes people pretend you're a bad person so they don't feel guilty about how they treated you!"

They will also gossip to others about how bad you are so they have allies in their lies.

Never take seriously those who want to believe something about you that is not true.

Those who love you would never treat you this way, the culprit behind all this is jealousy influenced by the implanted thoughts of the devil. 

Those who hate being corrected and hate instruction from God's Word will attempt to discredit us in order to justify their lies against us. 

Proverbs 12:1-2 

"Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,
But he who hates correction is stupid.
2 A good man obtains favor from the Lord,
But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn."
