Condemnation or Compliment

We have been accused of the possibility of stealing - by a person with a long judicial record whom during his entire time of knowing us has been shown God’s example of loving one another and mercy. I have been accused of “attacking my husband” and “always tearing him down” because I am one of his chosen accountability partners and I dare to hold him accountable - by someone who, from experience, runs away when asked to be accountable or responsible in even the smallest way. I have been talked ill of for speaking & praying God’s will over my husband’s life, especially life choices and for asking him “Is this God’s will?” Our family has been slandered because we choose to attempt to live a Biblical standard and allow our sons the ability to make choices to prepare them for adulthood and walk the consequences good or bad instead of raising them the worldly way and forcing them to meet our demands with harshness and violence. We as parents have been judged harshly because we have the heart desire and focus to allow and assist our sons in finding their calling in life now while they are still in their youth and help them train/prepare so that they can fulfill their destiny to their utmost potential instead of allowing them to fumble around well into their adulthood or possibly waste their whole entire life and have deep regrets in their final moments. I would rather be accused of the above then live outside of God’s will and calling for our life. We are not perfect nor will we ever be but we strive daily, moment by moment to be more like Him. When I look at the list, instead of condemnation & guilt I actually see compliments and affirmation that we are living in His will and on the right track. Thank you Lord for the affirmation.
