“Even
then will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of
prayer.” Isaiah 56:7
Have you ever felt yourself an
outcast from anyone, any group, or even from God? Abandoned, lost, alone,
forgotten? God gave this message to Isaiah for him to pass along to the
outcasts of the world. Can God who is almighty really understand what it’s like
to be alone, outcast, and abandoned?
Listen to Jesus on the cross, “My
God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” Listen to Jesus in the garden, “Could
none of you watch and pray with me?” Listen to Jesus in the upper room. “All of
you will abandon me tonight.” When Jesus promises to understand and welcome the
outsider, the lonely, the abandoned, He can. He will receive all who come to
Him and give them a home with Him. With Him we are nevermore alone. He gathers
us to Him and gives us great joy.
Dear
Father, thank you for your understanding and care for the lonely and outcast.
Amen
