When someone attacks you verbally, sometimes it's wiser to remain silent. Sure, you could try to explain with a soft answer and hope it turns away their wrath. But sometimes no response is the best response. Don't meditate on the negativity. Turn to God and pray for the person attacking you. It could be that they will return to you with an apology Or it could be that they'll attack you more because they don't think their first attack got your attention. Either way, you've moved in the opposite spirit and God is pleased. So don't respond to the attack unless the Holy Spirit tells you what to say. In the meantime, stay prayerful. It keeps your heart clean.
You can't stop people from verbally attacking, insulting and gossiping about you.There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop people from talking about you. Understand and accept the reality that no person is too nice, too quiet or too beautiful to escape every conversation. Actually every person is the subject of several conversations and discussions daily. We talk about people that help us; people that hurt us; people that make us laugh and people that make us cry. Some people will speak good things about you and others will spread twisted truths or laudable lies about you.
Child of God, don't waste your precious time by seeking to confront every gossiper and responding to every negative talk. Accept the fact that people will always talk about you. Don't fall victim to the Devil's dirty tricks. He wants to deviate your attention, still your progress and distort your focus by inciting you to confront everyone or react to every talk. Remember , you can never reach your destination if you stand to throw stones at every dog that barks at you. Regardless of what people say or don't say; keep your eyes on the mark and keep your ears above trivial talk. In the end it only matters what Jesus says about you. Therefore turn your eyes and ears away from people and focus on Christ and get on with your life.
Be blessed and highly favoured
