I lift up my eyes to the hills- Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - He who watches over you will not slumber; Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you The LORD is your shade at your right hand; The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life; The LORD will watch over your coming and going Both now and forevermore. Psalm 121

How do you respond to those who still see you as you once were? Although you have long moved on by submitting your heart to the Lord and although you have held yourself accountable to others as you have actively worked to conform yourself to Christ's image, some still see you from the filters of the past. Many times, this is a result of their own woundedness and inability to move forward. Perhaps, they have not yet forgiven you although you long ago made amends to the best of your ability. Guarding your heart from defensiveness and self-justification is crucial if you are to walk in lasting healing. Remaining loving, setting boundaries (not walls), remaining teachable and extending graciousness and kindness in such situations are all signs of a truly changed heart.
