I don't even know how many times I've felt like an outcast. How many times I'm with a group of people and I have to force my way into "the circle". Most times I just give up. I tell myself that I'll always be on the outside of the circle. I tell myself that no one wants to be friends with me, that no one wants to let me into their group. I felt like that for a long time. But then my best friend talked to me and told me that it didn't matter if I was accepted into the group because even if I have zero friends, Jesus will always be there. I wish I could say that I listened to her right away. But I can't. It actually took me years to finally realize that she was right. I don't want you to spend years feeling like an outcast like I did. No matter how much of an outcast you think you are, you're never an outcast to Jesus. He is always with you even when you can't feel Him [A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24]. Who do you think that friend is? If you guessed Jesus, then give yourself a pat on the back because you're right. Even your brother or sister will leave the house and start a life on their own. But Jesus will never leave your side. He loves you more than you could even begin to imagine. He laid down His very own life for you. He died a sinner's death so that you could be His friend. He would've done it if you were the only person in the world. And He'd do it again in a heartbeat if He had to. You might have only a few friends, or you might have no friends at all. But remember that even when no one wants to let you into their circle, you have a friend that sticks closer than a brother. And that friend is Jesus.
