Dear C: People Talk

My dearest daughter,

Sometimes, it's not really about you.

Sometimes, people talk you down only because they want to feel better about themselves. These people usually take it behind your back, trifling and tattering from afar, as they seldom or never comes in contact with you.

Instead, be glad when someone corrects you directly, because this person is someone you can call a true friend.

{ The Lord corrects the people he loves and disciplines those he calls his own. Hebrews 12:6 CEV }
