BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
When we begin to embark on a career, many people will be surprised and many will not believe in you. In most cases, family members, relatives and close friends are the first to look down on you. This is not different in the case of Jesus.
In the gospel reading of today, we see Jesus go back to his own hometown where he was born and brought up. Many people who have heard of all the miracles he had been doing came out to meet him, probably to listen to him and be healed as well. His own family and relatives thought that he was going out of his mind. Sometimes in life, family, friends and relatives may look down on you and not regard you. They may not believe in you and give you the respect you get outside of your home. It is very important to be focused and determined, and not get discouraged by derogatory comments when doing the right thing. God help us. Amen.
