A Prophets Misery

A PROPHETS MISERY

The gospels record that a prophet is honored everywhere except at home among his own people and the people he loves the most. His own people make it a habit of never supporting his initiative and take pride in identifying weakness while the world makes use of his strengths. It is as if evil makes camp in his house to bring him down. This brings the prophet great misery. But I see this truth of leaders as well. Those who have excelled are not respected by those whose love would have meant the most to them. It is a great paradox to have the love of the world, but not the love of home.  Only a few people are willing to make this sacrifice.
