Don’t suffer needlessly for things you can prevent.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. (1 Peter 4)
Jesus came to free you from the prison in which dishonesty traps you:
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; (Isaiah 61:1)
He said: “...the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
He frees you by showing you something better—which requires you to be ignorant of something or wrong about something.
In order for the Lord to lead you to greater joy, you have to be willing to be a fool. You have to get to the point where you care more about what God thinks of you than what others do:
Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. (Jeremiah 17:5)
You can’t care about both at the same time:
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:24)
