Do you feel rejected? Alone? Worthless? Unwanted? Those are terrible feelings, aren’t they? We actually deserve even worse. Because of our sins, we deserve to be rejected by God himself. We deserve to be punished in hell. Every rejection in life is a small, sad taste of what we deserve to suffer forever.
But Jesus changed everything. In fact, Jesus willingly let himself be rejected and punished in our place for our sins. When he died on the cross, he suffered for you and me, so that what we deserve isn’t what we’ll receive. Our Savior Jesus makes us this promise: “All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away” (John 6:37). Did you hear that? “Whoever comes to me I will never drive away.” You’re forgiven. Loved. Wanted. Saved. By Jesus! Even when others push you away, know that you can come to Jesus broken, sinful, and needy, and he will never drive you away!
