One thing I鈥檝e had to learn the hard way is that not everyone is going to support the version of you that鈥檚 growing. Sometimes the people you expect encouragement from will give you doubt instead. Sometimes you鈥檒l share a goal, a dream, or a fresh start, and you鈥檒l be met with criticism, negativity, or silence. And if you鈥檙e not careful, that can make you question yourself. But the Bible reminds us of Joseph鈥檚 story. When he shared the dream God gave him, not everyone celebrated it. In fact, some of the people closest to him became the very ones who hurt him. What gives me hope is this: their lack of support didn鈥檛 stop God鈥檚 plan. Joseph still made it to where God was taking him. Maybe that鈥檚 a reminder for you today. Not everyone has to understand your healing. Not everyone has to agree with your growth. Not everyone has to see what God is doing in your life right now. Keep going anyway. The people who are meant to walk with you will cheer you on. The people who don鈥檛 understand your journey don鈥檛 get to determine your destination. Trust God with the process. Stay humble. Stay focused. Keep doing the work. And remember, just because not everyone supports your next chapter doesn鈥檛 mean God isn鈥檛 writing something beautiful. Sometimes the greatest blessings start growing long before anyone else can see them...
