For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in. Psalm 27:10
To experience rejection is hard but to be rejected by one’s own parents is devastating. Yet even if we experience life’s most bitter rejection there is One who will “take us in”. He was despised and rejected by men (Isa 53:3) and therefore is able to sympathize with the pain of rejection (Heb 4:15-16). There is nothing better than to be accepted and welcomed by God! So we also are to “welcome one another as Christ has welcomed us, for the glory of God” (Rom 15:7)
