Let me tell you something—no hater on earth is stronger than God.
Far too often, we falsely believe that people's opinions can stop us from getting what we deserve. In reality, the only thing that can stop anyone is what's inside of them. I need you to understand a simple truth of life. Often, the truths in my message seem pessimistic, but today, the truth is absolutely liberating.
Nothing can stop you except for what's inside of you.
When I say nothing, I mean absolutely nothing. Nothing on earth can get you off track without your permission, and nothing can stop your progress unless you let it. Sometimes, it's difficult not to entertain distractions. It's hard not to entertain negativity. It's hard not to fall for foolishness, but you have to understand that the people using you will never truly love you. Although that statement is definitely a depressing one, there's a positive flip side. Even though not everyone will give you love, the only love you truly need in life is self-love. Regardless of how many figurative stones people throw at you, nothing can stop you from accomplishing the unique purpose God designed for you.
Stop giving people permission to stop you. Your competition doesn't consist of anyone but yourself, and no earthly hater can stop God's will from being fulfilled. When God has called you to be something, it doesn't matter how many people are against you. It doesn't matter how great the opposition seems, because when you respond to hate with love, nothing can destroy you. When you realize that all the power is within, you'll be able to do anything. The people who have abused and used you are going to phase out, because they'll finally realize that they won't be able to stop you, no matter what you do. No one will be able to stop you, because you'll have learned that you can do anything you set your mind to.
Although criticism and hatred hurt, they are both mortal designs. The fact is, those haters are trying to fight a battle much bigger than they are. They aren't fighting against you—they're fighting against God.
How should you use this information? I want you to remember how powerful your purpose is, and I want you to remember that there is no fight you can't win. Stop focusing on the people trying to tear you down. Instead, I want you to fixate on what's moving you forward. I want you to focus on cultivating more peace in your own life, and I want you to focus on giving more love to the world. Remember, anything God has set out for you can be accomplished—no exceptions.
It all starts with you.
