No one wants to be the second best. No one wants to feel the rejection of “not being good enough.”
Sometimes the things that hurt the most is when people forget about you. Like when someone sends invitations out and you weren’t invited, when someone forgets you were in fact present during one of those “good times”, when you were there for that inside joke. Even as far as when someone tags people in something on facebook and they forget you.
Being forgotten by someone feels like you don’t stand out to them. It really hurts.
But, something is wrong when it comes to self pity. It means now are you not only pushing away God’s love, now you’re blind to it as well.
Sometimes when you find yourself in the situations of loneliness is when it’s the hardest to be the loving one. You really just want someone to come to you.
God is coming to you. Wake up. Open your eyes. You have to let go of the loneliness and what else is unfortunately attached to it so that you may rise again in Christ.
Let go of loneliness to open your eyes to God’s love again, because only through God will you know love. And until you can find full satisfaction in God, you won’t find it anywhere else.
It’s not about you.
