When God brings us through the storm and allows us to stand in joy, peace, and blessing, some will only see the final picture, not the battles, tears, and prayers it took to get there. Instead of celebrating with you, they may see your light as competition. Some choose to remain in darkness; others pretend to walk in the light. In those moments, the wisest response is prayer, distance, and peace. Step back, release them to God, and continue living in the light He worked so hard to bring you into.
