PROVE THEM WRONG!
Not too long ago, I heard the beautiful story of two people who were so in love with each other. However, it happened that the man (by our human standards) was considered not in the same ‘class’ or “status “ with the woman who was more educated and had a good job. So most people (if not everyone) around them never believed their relationship will survive. Fast forward, they’ve been married for 12 years, and blessed with beautiful children.
I’m sure you’ve heard and even seen such or similar story. As I listened to the story the first thing that came to my mind was ‘prove them wrong’. Yes, you heard me right – “prove them wrong”. I’ve come to realize that in this life, not everyone will believe in you, your dreams, your mission, or even your future.
I am sure you’ve had people around you who never thought you will amount to something. They’ve authoritatively made statements like “you will never get that job” or “finished that course”; or “make it in your relationship”. However, with self determination, passion for what you believed in, and God by your side, you “proved them wrong”
So as you go this week amidst the jarring, and scoffing of the cynics, naysayers and septics who continue to question “can anything good come out of Nazareth?”, please remember that you have what it takes to defy the odds, reject the stereotype and demonstrate for them to “come and see” that good can “come out of Nazareth”. John 1:46 KJV
Don’t forget to smile coz it looks good on you.
