WHAT IF THEY UNDERVALUE ME?

WHAT IF THEY UNDERVALUE ME?
The reason why many people are not entering into their purpose is that they're asking:
What if others overlook or undervalue me?
They have not started yet but this is their "if" for not starting.
They are helping people contemplate their own value in their minds and as a result, they are stuck!
If you are one of these people, I want to encourage you to quit this habit right away!
Listen, do you know the story of David, in the Bible?
He was overlooked and undervalued by his own father and brothers - his family, to simply put.
They never thought he was fit to be king! They didn't even call him to the anointing service. Can you imagine?
Nobody thought he would amount to anything. In fact, they gave him a suicide assignment - which is to look after a flock of sheep in the wild, where Lions and Bears play.
What kind of family love is that?
I don't know if you are that overlooked or undervalued. If you are, then you must learn from David and study his life.
David did not let that deter him from purpose.
From my study, there are 5 principles we can learn from how David dealt with the situation:
1. While he was been undervalued, he kept on serving! Service was his lifestyle. He was developing himself and refining his gifts, skills, and character.
2. He was even picking up new skills - he played the harp so much, it took him to the palace!
3. He was faithful to the task. He wouldn't even let a Lion or Bear take one single sheep! So much dedication!
4. He was humble. Even when he was anointed, he returned to his duty post! WOW! What a heart!
5. He allowed God to be the judge of the situation. He didn't take laws into his own hands. He didn't hate his family or try to hurt them.
So, which of these principles are you doing to start putting to work from today?
I believe in you.
