Follow your heart, listen to your inner voice, stop caring about what others think. (Roy T. Bennett, author)

This quotation can be helpful or harmful. If we’re living a life of integrity, negative criticism or false rumors shouldn’t concern us. But, as author Lysa TerKerust  put it, “Feelings are indicators, not dictators.” Because our “inner voice” often lies to us, it’s wise to evaluate our feelings and whether or not the criticism has any valid basis.

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow (Psalm 25:4).
Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found (Psalm 119:35).
