This is true. I keep telling people that I have to choose my battles because CFIDS won’t let me fight them all. If I want to do that, I have to forego doing this. If I want to go there at that time, I have to stay here at this time. It hasn’t been easy to adjust to, but the supplements have helped.
And there are people who have no idea how hard it is for me to say “no” or to make an excuse because they won’t understand the truth when I tell them. *shrug* I have to quit letting it bother me, I guess.
“Nothing that comes from outside a person can defile that person, but only what comes from inside.”
Other people’s misunderstanding or judgment doesn’t affect the core of you who are. You - and the Spirit of God - know your heart. You know that you are doing your best within the constraints that you have. There’s not much you can do about anything that comes from outside except to remember that it doesn’t touch the real you.
