No one likes to feel left out. Even as children, we wanted to make new friends and fit in. Have you ever gone somewhere and felt out of place? Walking into a nice restaurant and realizing you’re underdressed or walking into a conversation and realizing that you were the topic. It’s not a nice feeling, and it happens more than we would like.

Especially when we need help, when we are looking for a hand to reach out and help us, it seems we feel the most alone.

However, God promises that He will never turn us away. Look at what the Bible says:

“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” John 6:37

Maybe family and those you considered friends have turned you away. Religious institutions and places you hoped would have answers have closed their doors to you, but God never did. Don’t allow the pains of your past to keep you from turning to God. He is ready and able to help you. Reach out to Him. He will never disappoint.

May the God of the Bible bless you!

Bishop Bira Joshua
