Rejected by the One You Love

Today, this video popped up in my Facebook memories. Back in the summer of 2017, I had gone through the pain and heartache of an unwanted divorce. I was dealing with a lot of hurt and pain stemming from the rejection of one who I loved deeply.

The divorce was finalized in November of 2017. A few months later, as I was scrolling through Facebook, I came across this video. To this day, I don't even know why it showed up in my feed. It wasn't from anyone I was connected with or following. But it carried with it the message that I needed.

Take a couple minutes to watch the video, and then stick around for some closing thoughts.








Some of the sweetest moments of fellowship with my Shepherd came during this dark time of pain, walking through the valley. There were times when it truly felt like my Shepherd was carrying me on His shoulders.

Listen, if you're going through a hard time, a dark valley, I can't tell you all the reasons why. But I know this - there is a Shepherd Who wants to embrace you and carry you through the valley. He longs to have a relationship with you.

When life is so dark that you can't see the Shepherd, know that He is still there - He will never leave you or forsake you.
