Lately.. I've come to the conclusion that is must be popular to dislike me LOL.

Sounds pathetic doesn't it.. but read on. Have you ever had people that don't even know you decide they do not like or approve of you? Its a bit odd.. If someone I knew got mad at me for something I did..then that's repairable..but what about people who do not know you and have no cause? Perhaps it's a painful flaw in my personality but I cannot stand it when people dislike me without even getting to know me. But - it almost seems like its the "in" thing at times. It baffles me..but tonight as I was pondering the latest drama the devil has thrown at me - it occurred to me that the type of people that come against me are like that for a reason.

I'm not wealthy, well known or popular. I battle poor health and I'm always praying and watching the hand of God for my every need. I guess for those reasons people tend to look down at me and not give me a chance to be somebody of worth to them.. but there is someone that sees it differently.


When the call to the wedding supper went out in the Bible....it was to the upper class..but they had their own thing going on and ignored the invitation.. then Jesus reached down his hand for me..and I accepted.

He was not known for rubbing elbows with the upper class. He was mocked for being with the low lives.. If he was here today as He was then he would not drive a sports car or live in a big house. He would not have a ton of friends or be popular. Most people would just steer clear of Him and chalk him up as another wandering loser.

My heart pulsates when I see Him in this humble light....He took on that form for a reason...and I realize that I take on this form for a reason too. HIS reason.

So let the wolves snap at my ankles and shove their noses in the air when I walk by. Let them talk and poke. Everything they have may make them well off and popular..but what I have/don't have causes character..and character is the only thing that will remain when everything else fails..and it will fail. Jesus's trials molded Him..and their molding me to be like Him.

This revelation does not make peoples painful actions easier..but it does make them worth it! ! Thank You Lord
