The Underestimated Potentials
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; & God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound to things which are mighty; -1 Corinthians 1:27
So even though I grew up as the kid studying scripture when he thought no one was watching, in public I was everything but that. To some I was a trouble maker, to others I was class-clown, & then sometimes I was the quiet kid among the “lost-souls” as the teachers would jokingly call us.
I was anything but a bible nerd, because I was somewhat insecure in my foundation. I didn’t have a teacher, & there was nobody around to truly guide me. & so what things I would learn here & there, I assumed was basic understanding, until I got a little older.
Again, NEVER underestimate your capabilities with this perspective!
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: - 1 Corinthians 1:28
To embrace the spirit is to be inherently misunderstood, despised, and sometimes even neglected.
I’ve lost a lot with taking on this journey of mind, and as a result, I’ve become strange to friends & family. Some think I’m weird, others call me crazy. I’ve been targeted, used, taken advantage of, & left hanging all over again & again.
This is the price that came with the journey for me. But more importantly, this is what calls for endurance, especially when you walk alone. But these are the things that build both character and discernment in the process. And these are what build up your potential.
