L💘VE letter from God! The Black Sheep Out of that terrible travail of soul, he’ll see that it’s worth it and be glad he did it. Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many “righteous ones,” as he himself carries the burden of their sins. Therefore I’ll reward him extravagantly— the best of everything, the highest honors—Because he looked death in the face and didn’t flinch, because he embraced the company of the lowest. He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many, he took up the cause of all the black sheep. Isaiah 53:11 ESV I grew up as the least of my family, who at the time was the least of another family. The youngest of thirteen kids and a stepchild on top of that. Every day it was made clear that I did not belong and never would. Have you ever felt like the black sheep in the family? Made some mistakes, or maybe like me, you are the mistake and never able to live up to the expectations? After enough pain we become closed off to the world. Be encouraged. Jesus has friends in low places and He found me there. Jesus redeemed me, added me to His family and healed my heart. He took up the cause of troubled and hurting people and He will take your burden today if you will let Him. Remember, today is the first day of the rest of your life. What you have been in the past is gone and you decide who you will be from this day forward. Your brightest days are still ahead of you! Jesus saves the black sheep.
