Let me tell you something. Self-pity can ruin our lives. It depletes us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s an enemy within that can cut us off from God and from people. The good news of our faith is that God loves us and accepts us. No matter how others may treat us, God never deserts us or forsakes us. God is always there for us, and when we feel alone or rejected or hurt, we need to remember that.
