I can handle it if someone gets angry about it, but what truly gets to me is the ridicule.
"..but what truly gets to me is the ridicule."
Well, this is when it is important to remember that no one can serve two masters. If when you are ridiculed you respond a different way then you would if not ridiculed, you have just let man instead of God be your master, and this is the objective of those ridiculing you. They are attempting to change your behavior and be your master. You honor, serve and make Him Lord by doing what He desires INSPITE of what everyone else is trying to get you do, like shut up, go away and just die.
