Have you ever had a wonderful friend, with whom you laughed, cried and shared life, then suddenly they left? That pain of rejection can stab like a sword, leaving a gaping wound. Even Jesus was rejected, when his disciples abandoned him. He was hurt when people, who once shouted Hosanna and praised him, turned just a few days later, shouting crucify instead. Yet through it all, He endured, knowing that His Father loved him in the depths of despair. He loves you, too, more than you can ever know. If you are hurting, come soak in His love. He is the friend, who loves at all times, and He is waiting to embrace you. His love, which is high and wide and deep, is everlasting, and will carry you through each day. 51-How God Lavishes His Love to Heal Rejection.
