Where do you need to go through?

Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
What do you do when you know your critics are stirred up against you?
Like Jesus, I pray that I’ve and will have the fortitude to keep moving forward in God’s will no matter what. Jesus lived His life with such focus that what was His single most call and purpose-to bring man to light, turn from wickedness in repentance and back into the Kingdom of God! When you and I know what our single tasks is, like Jesus nothing will stop us. In fact, the more the outrage the more we should be energized to keep spreading the good news. Jesus knew, Samaria was the next harvest hub.
3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
Why did you leave your previous job, career, place of birth, one city to another?
When I left my native land, I moved here with a dream in mind to a Wall Street trader. Nevertheless, soon after I realized life was not that easy, and faced many challenges that in hind sight I had to go through. Today, I have come to discern that those challenges, trials and tribulations were necessary for me to get to where I am today and to be in His will for me.
I am persuaded, had I not gone through these challenges, I would not have encountered Christ as I have come to know Him and beheld my life’s purpose-one devoid of illusions and selfishness. Like the Samaritan Woman, the water she originally came to draw become inconsequential upon encountering Christ. She beheld a new vision, and right away had a new message to share with others.
15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
What is your food? Jesus’ food was to share the Good News and redeem man…
You will have to ask Jesus to give you the Living Water, or the ultimate Dream that is your calling from Him, and one that will yield joy, fulfillment and purpose. The kind of cause that when you engage in; you will not need food… as it will be you food. Jesus, said… “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” 33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
