Acts 21:15-36 How to overcome being misunderstood: Don't let discouragement derail you from your destiny. Stay connected to Christian community even when you don't always fit in. Keep on declaring God's goodness even when you know trials and trouble await you. Don't be surprised when your good news is challenged with bad news. Be willing to meet people where they are so you can lead them where God wants them to be. Expect the unexpected when you are doing God's work in a fallen world. Seek to understand before seeking to be understood. Seek to become better in more clearly communicating your thoughts with others. Seek to have better relational skills. Knowing that God fully understands me gives me peace in a world that often misunderstands me.
