The very person who should be our cheerleader and come along side us with support ends up being a critic who hurls a ton of condemnation at us. We feel unjustly attacked, and we have no idea how to respond. Do you have someone in your life whose turned into an adversary, and now you no longer enjoy showing up to serve where you know God has called you?
