I tell you solemnly.
No prophet is ever accepted in his own country.
We feel ourselves appreciated rarely.
We always feel behind all and sundry.

But does it matter.
If there is just one who appreciates us.
We seem a failure but we can climb that celestial ladder.
We just have to, at its first step, focus.

Elijah appeared to the Syrian Naaman.
Others were overlooked.
We are that man.
Our ascent is booked.

Our day will come eventually.
If all too slowly.

…….

A prophet is accepted
But not in his own country
There is always hope

……

See Luke 4 : 24-30
