You’re Not For Everybody…That’s Okay

I used to over-explain everything.

Why I posted. Why I said no. Why I showed up the way I did.

But then I read Mark 11:28. And, I realized even Jesus was questioned by people who didn’t understand His assignment.

That freed me.

Because the truth is, some people will never get it and they’re not supposed to.

So now? I just follow God’s lead and serve who He’s called me to.

No long explanations. Just obedience.

If you’ve been in that same place, I see you.

... Read moreIn life, not everyone is meant to understand our paths, and that's perfectly okay. Many struggle with the fear of judgment or the need for approval from others. The gospel of Mark reminds us that even Jesus was questioned (Mark 11:28), emphasizing that doubt from others is part of the journey we all take in faith. Finding comfort in this notion can inspire individuals to live authentically, focusing on personal growth rather than external validation. Embracing our unique paths allows us to serve those aligned with our purpose while fostering resilience against societal pressures. Open discussions about purpose and faith are crucial for building a supportive community. Resources such as support groups, Bible study sessions, and personal development workshops can provide valuable insights and aid in healing. These spaces promote sharing experiences, understanding that we are not alone in feeling misunderstood. Ultimately, it’s about cultivating a relationship with faith that empowers us to stand firm in our convictions, leading to greater personal fulfillment and spiritual growth. By sharing our stories and supporting one another, we not only find strength in our individual journeys but also recognize the collective power of our experiences in faith. Let’s continue to build a community that uplifts and encourages personal transformations, reminding one another that peace often comes from within.
