The Orphan

She is alone.  Abandoned.  Forsaken. Totally alone.
HE finds her. Takes her, clothes her, rescues her and treats her with kindness.
HE "buys" her with HIS own blood and gives her a new name.  HE brings her to His table, feeds her, cares for her, is always kind and loving.


She sits in wonder, can this really be happening?  Now she is part of a family.  She watches and listens and compares.  She is not the only one.  There are many with her same story...but different.   She listens to the laughter at the gatherings but she continues to sit outside the circle.....She waits til the others are gone before she eats.  She hangs back...

WHY?


She has not been convinced.  She is stuck in an Orphan Mentality.  She wants to believe  it but won't let herself.  Wounds go deep.  Habits are hard to break.  Mistrust is a wide rut in her soul.


Is that you?  Do you know someone who has "accepted" Christ but still lives like he/she is unloved, alone?


Don't hang back anymore.  Cut off the last tethers of the old life that the enemy wants you to cling to. He wants YOU!   He loves you Oh how HE loves YOU!
