Send us Fan MailWhen Our Purpose Is Bigger Than Our “Face”“When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife.” - Matthew 1:24The concept of “face” has to do with one’s reputation, social dignity, and respect in the eyes of others. One’s social standing matters in just about every society, and particularly matters where honor and shame carry great weight. Joseph choosing to wife Mary, a woman who would now be seen as unchaste and impure in the eyes of their society in many ways made him worse than Mary. What kind of simp would choose to do that?Joseph decided to ignore his “face”. His purpose, mission, and calling were more important to him than how he was seen in the eyes of others. He understood that true honor is not bestowed externally, but emerges from within. We will always be prisoners to the opinions of others until our purpose is bigger than our “face”.I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.Support the show
