Proverbs 18:16 A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men. 

Your God given gifts, and talent; your very life calling, may seem to never be acceptable, especially in your own land. Quiet resentment of those disapproving speak loud; and may even bring a destruction of character of unequivocal measure resulting in a lifetime of being an outcast. Forgive it, ask God to remove it, remove you from it, or give you the strength to bear it.

Remember and know that you are truly called, you may be the outcast among men, you may be last in your own land, but to God, the you are His chosen, and He will place you in position if you wait on Him. Your season will come. Your gifts are not for naught! You will rise and shine, and your gifts will bring you before great men. 

 

Outcasts Come; hear ye outcasts, Ye lost in the shuffle, You are chosen among those fighting, for rank in the scuffle. Your undying pursuit, though seemingly at a distance. The unrelenting passion, fueling without resistance. Come; hear ye rejected, Cut from the mold of a different kind, Says the Master of the banquet, “Gather them all, they shall be mine.” While never striving for position or the favored attention, The last shall be first at His Majesty’s convention. Escape to love, all ye dejected, love for you, meant everything, Greater than the scorn you bore, for mere acceptance and love, you would have given anything. Your precious pearls were trampled, under feet of the heart of swine, But says the Master of the table, compel them to come, now, they are mine. Come; ye outcasts, Ye forgotten children of the King You are the elect, faithful, and the chosen, He has heard your cries, your suffering. You are gathered from the low roads, the streets, prisons, and the bars, placed at the forefront of many battles, to win so many unseen wars. Your story, is chosen for His glory, His glory will never be amiss, Your gifts the unknown allegory For such a glorious time as this.
