Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.

Psalm 27:10 NLT Bible

This verse speaks to being rejected by parents, but we can also include loved ones, friends and acquaintances. As difficult as rejection may be to process and ultimately accept, we can find comfort in knowing that God will never abandon us. He is with us through 'thick and thin'. God will never forsake us and will always hold us close.

When people are rejected, they feel invisible and think they don't matter to anyone. They are all around us, in our homes, neighbourhoods and churches. In fact, we may even experience rejection ourselves. We have a choice. We can indulge in self-pity and bouts of sadness or we can rejoice in the fact that we have a Friend in Jesus and He will always be with us.

Thank you Lord for Your abiding Presence. I've been rejected by those who promised to always care for me, but I refuse to dwell on it. Instead, I thank you for Your promise to never leave me. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
