To stand accused and not defend is a challenge to our spirit and soul. In our flesh we desire to be understood for "who we are", but because others are not able to see our hearts or our souls it is impossible that they will ever be able to recognize "who we are".
Jesus stood accused and did not defend and that is what we are called to do also, no matter how challenging. I find that even if we are allowed to speak the one hearing our words is seldom open to receiving them. Children are still impressionable, but most adults have made their choices and consider the subject as "closed".
We are called to be as children and Jesus said that we must come as these(children)~
Luke 18:16 for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these
Accused or accepted by man is of little importance~our purpose is to learn to walk like Jesus~
Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want. 1 Peter 4:1-2(The Message Translation)
