Mark 6:4
Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house.”

When Jesus returned to His hometown of Nazareth He astounded the people with his teaching. At first they were impressed. But then they asked, “Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary?” And then the scripture says, “They took offense at him.” Following your heart…giving your all to be the person you were meant to be…becoming your true self…will mean growth and change. Some people will not be comfortable with that! As a matter of fact, unfortunately, sometimes your closest friends and family can be the very ones who will give you a hard time. When you follow the dream God has given you and begin to live it…you will be growing and moving out of your comfort zone. This will challenge others around you to do so as well…and they might not like it! Remember…you are not meant to please them…but to please God! Listen to your heart…and then follow Jesus. It’s the way to finding your true self.
