Being Backbitten is a Compliment

They have to be behind you to backbite. The Pharisees backbit Jesus. They accused Him behind His back of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub. But Jesus never responded behind their backs. To their face He told them “You belong to your father, the devil”-John 8:44. Jesus never backbit people. He was so confident of the things He said that He told His disciples “What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight”-Matthew 10:27. So take it as a compliment when people backbite you and NEVER respond in kind. Remember, “The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion”-Proverbs 28:1.
