John 15:13

Me

What do I mean by being accepted? I don’t mean being the most popular kid at school. Being accepted is wanting to be apart of something. Anything even. I know for a fact I did things that weren’t like me at all just because I didn’t want to be alone. I wanted to be apart of something. But is being apart of something really that important? This want that we have confused as a need to be accepted can drive us to do some things that we probably wouldn’t do. I know I have done some things and when I look back on the times I did stuff I know I had no business doing, I felt ashamed of myself. I felt like a complete idiot. But I wasn’t in my right mind; I had driven myself to madness and immorality because I didn’t want to be alone. But if you think about it, many of us fear being alone. In both senses, being alone literally like you are sitting all by yourself in your house while your “friends” are out partying and participating in illegal and unhealthy activities or actually being alone, like having no one to talk to or go to. But even in both of these situations, for those who are saved, we always have someone we can go to. God many not be a human being, but HE is listening, and in seeking HIM, you will find peace and not feel alone. But even so, the Lord has sent people to us, friends. But then and again, how are we able to tell if the people around us are friends? This is not as easy as it seems, even for the most observant person. Being alone isn’t always as bad as it seems, in being alone, you may be able to find other people to hang out with, or you can find something healthier to do than going out and getting fall-down drunk on the weekends. But at the same time, is it better to be accepted and do things that aren’t good for you or don’t care for or like or be alone but still be able to enjoy yourself? Now clearly this isn’t always the easiest thing to think about and most of the time, we tend to choose to be accepted and go do whatever large groups of people are doing. But once we figure out that being alone is still better than destroying ourselves for the sake of not being alone we tend to feel unsure of ourselves and we also tend to feel ashamed of ourselves.

We all have moments in our lives where we may lose hope or feel down. Discouragement and disappointment are normal because we are human. We set our standards too high or we make a big mistake. But a big mistake doesn’t mean that it is over. It doesn’t mean that everything is over. There is still hope. The situations we face are placed in our lives for a very specific reason. A big mistake or a hard time doesn’t mean that there will be no end to your pain. There is a light at the end of everyone’s tunnel. To see this light we need hope. There is nothing that God cannot handle. He is the comforter, and he is the great counselor. Any pain you are feeling is temporary and things will get better. 

Psalms 16:1

You are intelligent and one-of-a-kind.
