The Weight of Favor

You will be hated.

Not because you’ve done wrong,

but because your purpose carries weight.

Because your presence stirs what others try to keep still.

You will be misunderstood by people who once called you friend.

You will be misjudged by those who never took time to know your heart.

You will be called prideful for walking in confidence,

and cold for speaking the truth.

But truth, by nature, is uncomfortable.

It unmasks what comfort hides.

And the one who carries light

will always irritate the darkness around them.

See, favor doesn’t come wrapped in applause.

It comes wrapped in resistance.

It exposes insecurity in others,

and often, it reveals impatience in you.

You’ll find yourself wondering,

“Why am I always the one who’s misunderstood?

Why do people twist my intentions?

Why does honesty turn into offense?”

But understand this..

when you carry the weight of purpose,

your walk will disrupt what’s weakly built.

Your anointing will confront comfort.

Your discernment will expose deception.

And that will make people uncomfortable.

Because people don’t want their cracks to show.

So they’ll call you judgmental when all you did was see.

They’ll label you difficult when all you did was stand firm.

You’ll want to give up…

to shrink, to soften, to silence your truth

so peace can return.

But peace that requires you to bury your purpose

isn’t peace at all.

It’s bondage dressed as harmony.

Even Jesus… Perfect, pure, and purposeful..

was despised, betrayed, and rejected.

Not because of His faults,

but because of His favor.

So don’t be surprised when the weight feels heavy.

Favor has a cost.

It isolates before it elevates.

It refines before it reveals.

You are not being punished 

you are being positioned.

The pressure you feel

is proof of the purpose you carry.

So carry it well.

Carry it with humility.

Carry it even when they whisper,

even when they walk away.

Because the weight you feel

is not the burden of rejection,

it’s the strength of divine trust.

God placed something inside of you

too powerful to be accepted by everyone.

That’s the weight of favor.

It hurts, it stretches, it sanctifies…

but it’s holy.

And when you learn to carry it with grace,

you’ll realize.

the pain was never meant to break you.

It was meant to prove you were chosen.
