It’s so easy to feel alone and left out although you’re surrounded in a room full of people. Why is that? Why do we always compare ourselves to others and feel that we aren’t good enough when we were made just the way God intended us to be. Everyone is human and we all have similar, yet different qualities, but overall we all feel the same way deep inside.
“No, you go first I don’t wanna be the first one to walk in” or “No one is really talking to me, I wanna leave” are all things we say to try to make ourselves feel better and reasons to avoid the so-called “awkwardness” we don't want to face.
We feel so alone and out of place and because of these feelings we just blame it on the people around us. It’s not our fault, it’s because of the rude people we’re surrounded by, right?
I wish that was the case because that’s my excuse every single time. But I’ve had to realize that the true fullness we're looking for can only come from God. We can search for so many things to fill our emptiness, but no one can truly fill that hole like He can.
I once read a quote that said, "The more we invite God into our lives, the less we will feel uninvited by others." After reading that I realized how much I turn away from him and go the opposite direction when I feel alone. But you just have to do one simple thing. Turn to him and say "God, I know you are with me and I am not alone" and keep on moving. You are not alone and You are not forsaken.
