DENNIS

Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. Have you ever felt like you were not accepted? I remember as child that I felt like I was never really accepted, because I wasn’t that good at sports like most kids. I was uncoordinated, slow, and a bit overweight.
When we get older we still can have these types of feelings. You may be in a situation where you do not feel accepted; and this could be somehow bleeding over into your relationship with God. You feel that He does not accept you, because you have not experienced some emotional high or charismatic feeling. The enemy wants you to believe God does not want you. Well, friend, that is a lie. God says that “my grace is sufficient.”
All you have to do is trust Him, because He has given you the ability to know Him; and He has loving and unconditionally accepted you when you committed yourself to Him. So, every time the devil tries to convince you otherwise, point to the moment you gave yourself to God and let that alone be your witness. Since, you have been reminded of God’s truth, go and tell someone else who is feeling discouraged today that God has not abandoned them.
