February 9- If You’re Feeling Unwanted, Abandoned, or Rejected, It’s Time to Rejoice! Verse- God choose the lowly things of this world and the despised things- and the thing that are not- to nullify the things that are, 1 Corinthians 1:28 Have you ever felt unwanted, abandoned, or rejected? If the answer is yes I can relate 100%. Throughout my childhood I felt unwanted, alone and rejected. Read my testimony for a more detailed account, but long story short, I was abused starting at the age of 4 by my step-father then left by mother for the same man who abused me then ignored by my father and treated like an animal by my step-mother when my father was gone. I started to believe the lies that I wasn’t wanted and I was not normal, to the point that I tried to take my life. The reason I tell you is not for pity, but to simply let you know: don’t make the same mistake I did. God loves you more than you can ever imagine and as your brother in Christ, so do I. Rejoice for the Lord doesn’t have social classes, racial barriers or gender superiority. Instead he see’s everyone as his child and loves you like a father. You are you for a reason, because God created you that way. Remember that today and know you are loved! Questions- 1. Can you remember a time when you felt despised and rejected? Have you forgiven your offender for making you feel low-class, second-rate, unwanted, abandoned, and rejected? 2. Isn’t it comforting to know that God has provided a way out of rejection and bitterness for you to fulfill his high call on your life? 3. How does it make you feel when you realize that God chooses people who, like Jesus, who have felt “despised and rejected of men” so He can demonstrate his power and glory to the world?
