I believe that the Lord wants us to search our hearts over the coming days and weeks to ensure we are operating in His plan, is His way, longing for His heart, and desiring intimate relationship with the Living God. This must be of more importance than the opinions of others.
You’re in good company
Jesus did exactly what His Father in heaven told Him to do, and the people in the church (synagogue), who had known Jesus since he was a young boy, tried to throw Him off a cliff!
Reverence
