Exposing yourself to consistent negative feedback will invariably attack your faith. Who are you listening to? What voices are you permitting to influence your thoughts? It is time to shut out every opinion that contradicts God's word concerning you. Stop engaging in careless social talk that does not edify. Words are powerful. Make sure the ones you listen to will add and not take away from you.
