Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely

by Lysa TerKeurst

I assign thoughts to others that they never actually think. I hold them accountable to harsh judgments they never make. And I own a rejection from them they never gave me.

I can’t expect any other person to be my soul oxygen. I can’t live as if my next breath depends on whether or not they give me enough air for my lungs not to be screaming in pain. Because here’s the thing. People don’t mind doing CPR on a crisis victim, but no person is equipped to be the constant lifeline to another.

Truth proclaimed and lived out is a fiercely accurate weapon against evil.

Today’s disappointment is making room for tomorrow’s appointment. Let’s look for those good things with great intentionality.

Soak in His truths and let them seep into the deepest places of your heart rubbed raw with uncertainty.
