Unwanted

And so why is it that god chooses and elevates the underdogs, the have nots, the nobodies, the unwanted to become the heroes? Here's the answer. So that we can see the power of God on full display so that no one can boast. We can boast in the lord because it was him. Evangelist Reinhard Bonke, I believe who passed away recently, once said that the god, the god came for the lost and the last. [01:15:43] (41 seconds)  #ChosenUnderdogs

Just when you thought that was the end, there is hope. And hope has a name. It's Jesus Christ. So now what? Always end with next step. So, I mean, we already went through the steps of overcoming feelings or or being unwanted. So there is no real next steps. But okay. Before I read this prayer, I'm gonna read a prayer for you guys. It's a prayer from three different people that I put together. K? Because I thought it was really good. Let me say this before I read the prayer. Don't lose heart. Don't lose heart. Trust the lord. Know that you are loved. [01:17:09] (50 seconds)  #HopeIsJesus

If you think you're low, if you think you're lowly, you're you're despised, you're you're least, guess what? He chose you. So that no human being might boast in the presence of god and because of him, you are in Christ Jesus who became to us wisdom from god, righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption so that as it is written, let the one who boast boast in the lord and you know what? I will boast in the lord any day, every day of my life. [01:14:09] (33 seconds)  #ChosenAndRedeemed

Whenever you're having this, you know, woe is me. Like, nobody likes me. You know, I'm like the least. First Corinthian one twenty seven, but god chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise. If you think you're foolish, then he chose you. God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. If you think you're weak, then god chose you. He didn't choose the strong. God chose what is low and despise in the world. [01:13:30] (34 seconds)  #GodChoosesTheWeak

They're welcome into Jesus' presence. I don't know about you, but this is the kind. This this is the kind of god I want relationship with. This is the kind of god that that that I wanna I wanna be with. K? Because here is someone who identify with with me, who's not afraid to mix him with the, quote, unquote, wrong crowd or to get his hands dirty. That's Jesus. And I want my relationship with that kind of god. [01:02:30] (30 seconds)  #JesusWithOutcasts

Because if you ever felt unwanted in your life, and we've all been there, if you're honest. Jesus was also unwanted. And so he knows exactly what we go through. He knows exactly what we feel. Yes. This loving Jesus, k, was indeed unwanted. And if you don't believe me, you you need to you can believe the word of god. He was rejected by people from his own hometown.

How can one deal with being or feeling unwanted? How do we deal with it? I'm gonna give you four steps. Four step. And step one is this, be honest about what you're going through and bring it to God who understands better than anyone else. It begins with you being honest. Don't like, that was so long ago. It doesn't bother me when it's, like, eating away inside. [01:03:48] (33 seconds)  #BeHonestWithGod

The point is that Jesus identifies with us. Identifies with us. So, we can go to him. We can go to him. One who understands, one who sees, one who knows. As I said last week, Jesus lived through all human experiences, all of human emotions, all of human temptations, yet without sin. This is where it gets real for us, isn't it? For you and me.
