Jesus Cares For Us

There are times in our lives when we feel overlooked and even rejected.  The pains of rejection can sting deeply and leave long lasting scares in our very hearts.  We often times teach children that, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me."  The truth of the matter is that words do and can hurt when they are used in a careless matter.  Words can cause lasting damage and ruin reputations and stir up anger.  

There have been many times in my life when I have felt mistreated, overlooked, and even rejected.  Sometimes I have the bad habit of digging up those past hurts from years past and chewing on them all over again.  Sometimes it is hard to leave the past hurts alone and it hard not to dig them back up again, but we need to give them to the Lord Jesus and leave them there with Him.

Sometimes we need to realize that some people just will not like us for one reason or another that may have really nothing to do with us necessarily.  We need to forgive them and let the Lord deal with them in accordance to His will.

I am thankful, that even if some people don't like me or care for me ,I know that the Lord Jesus loves me and that is what truly matters.  The Lord will see us through the most difficult hurts in life if we are trusting in Him.

We have all sinned and we have all fallen short of God's high standards.  There is not one of us that is good enough to earn God's forgiveness and there is not one of us that is good enough to enter Heaven on our own merit.  God demonstrated His love toward us by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ to this earth to live a perfect and sinless life.  Jesus went obediently to the Cross where He shed His blood for our sins.  Jesus rose to life on the third day and He is now at the right hand of God interceding on our behalf.  One Day the Lord Jesus will return as the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  We must repent of our sins and receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior in order to have our sins forgiven and have a Home in Heaven.

If you fail to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you will face the ultimate rejection because you rejected the free gift that was offered to you by rejecting Jesus Christ.  There is only one way into Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ.

Lord,
Sometimes people hurt us with there words and actions.
Help us to forgive them and allow you to deal with them.
Forgive us when we hurt people with our words and help us to do better.
Help us to love You more and more and help us to love others as You love us.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
