As I was studying today God blessed me to understand why is it that family will never see your change or see the manifestation of God in your life. They want you to do well and exceed what they have done, but when you start saying that you are doing the work of your Father everything changes. But even Jesus had to leave His hometown to perform miracles because of the lack of faith that His family had. Not only that but it was not just our brothers, sisters etc., but others as well that have seen our shortcomings. Our family members do the same thing they did to Jesus. Because they are constantly around us and see us almost everyday, they never really see the change that God is doing in and around our lives. All they see is the dirt and the hurt, and the tears and shame we caused, before and after the cross. But because of God's infinite wisdom, He had to walk out and be about His fathers business regardless! In Mark 6:2-6 Jesus is describing to us as to why a prophet is without honor. This scripture was after Jesus went to heal a man daughter from being "asleep" and after the woman touched Jesus garment.

Mark 6:2-6

"Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their lack of faith.

In essence, we all have fallen short of the glory of God. And our righteousness is of filth rags (Isaiah 64:6) and we all have done things even after the cross, probably more so. But we have to realize that God has no respect a person and will use whoever He chooses to. We have to be willing vessels and open to be a hearer and doer of God's word regardless of who God uses. This applies to me as well. I used to be the type that only if "certain" people minister I would receive it. But in my walk as I "matured" in the things of God (key word) I realized that God will get His Word across by any means necessary and will use practically anyone to do it! So you had that "hesitant "spirit as I did please pray that God helps you in that area of your life. The way things are going now, we need all the Word we can get.
