Not being welcome is your greatest fear. It connects with your birth fear, your fear of not being welcome in this life, and your death fear, your fear of not being welcome in the life after this. It is the deep-seated fear that it would have been better if you had not lived (Nouwen). The message of the gospel is - above all else - an invitation, a cry of welcome, that sings out to you in your loneliness and shame. The core of the battle is here - whether you will decide to trust in Gods love or shrink back into the places of darkness, isolation, and pain. Yeshua says, Come to me; I love you, I accept you; I receive you; please, be welcome with me; I will take your hand, I will be with you...
