Criticism-It Hurts To Be Falsely Accused

Have you ever been falsely accused of something?

Have you ever been criticized?

Matthew 5:11 says, “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.”

If you’re doing good things with the right intentions and you’re being honorable and fair, sometimes you may be criticized by the most unlikely people or maybe by someone you have never even met.

Most of the time the criticisms come because you are “doing something.”

Teddy Roosevelt said, “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory or defeat.”

So if you are doing something noble, true and right, and you’re being criticized, Celebrate!

Most people never do anything; they never take action.

Copywriting guru Ray Edwards, says that C.R.I.T.I.C. stands for Can’t Really Invent Things; Instead Criticizes.

Remember, your place “shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory or defeat.”

The only way to be sure you are never criticized is not to do anything.
