Faithful Cycles: When You’re Not in the ‘In Crowd’
Real Life. Real Struggles. Real Truth.
Truth Cycle:
They don’t say it, but you feel it. You’re not invited. You’re not in the group chat. You’re not in the lunch circle or weekend plans. You watch them laugh and connect while you pretend not to care. But deep down, you do. You’re not in the in crowd and it stings.
Biblical Truth:
Jesus was rejected too by His hometown, His own people, even His closest friends. But rejection by people doesn’t mean rejection by God.
“He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.” John 1:11 (NKJV)
“The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.” Psalm 118:22 (NKJV)
“For the Lord does not see as man sees… the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV)
Quick Word:
You don’t need to fit in with them when you already belong to Him. God doesn’t call the popular He calls the faithful. Stay true. You’re not alone.
