(John 15:19 NKJV) “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
This verse should answer a lot of our questions for us. For example; Why do we feel left out? Why do we get talked about? Why do people make up stories about us? Why do family members fight us? Why do we feel lonely at times? The answer is that we are in this world but we are not of this world.
Many times, you go somewhere and find that if you don’t fit in or agree with what the majority is doing or saying, all of a sudden no one wants to be around you. You are looked as the outcast. You are not part of their conversation any longer because you don’t agree with what is being said or done. You get shut down quickly.
Try not to let this bother you. Just remember that Matthew 5:10 says: Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Just stick to doing and agreeing with what is right, no matter what we come against and what comes against us. Stand your ground, for you shall be Blessed!!
