There is a point and time in your life when you have to stand up for yourself if you are allowing someone to continuously run over you..Not even that, you don't have to be a welcome mat for everyone to wipe their feet on. Be strong, stand tall and hold your ground. You can walk in Love and still be firm. Sometimes its best to keep still or be quiet until things pass over but when its cool and calm, you have to deal with what is going on. Im learning everyday to do the same thing. But do it in the love of Jesus! If you ask Him He can help you get to that point. The sooner the better!
