Daily Inspiration

“Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.” And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith.” -Matthew 13:54-58
 
Christ calls us to go out and spread His message to all the nations. But He does not task us with forcing anyone to believe. Belief is a grace that comes from God and is not ours to control.
 
When we speak, we should proclaim His Truth, nothing more and nothing less. Do not worry whether your words are believed; trust in the Lord and leave that concern to the power of the Holy Spirit.
