We understand that you're going through a tough time feeling isolated and misunderstood by your peers. First, we want to assure you that you are not alone, and your feelings are valid. It's commendable that you recognize the inappropriateness of violence as a solution.
Let's turn to the Bible for guidance. In 1 Peter 2:9, it's written, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." This verse reminds us that our identity is not determined by what others think of us, but by who we are in Christ.
In situations like yours, Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as seen in Matthew 5:44. This doesn't mean it's easy or that you should subject yourself to harm. It means trusting God to work in the hearts of others while you maintain a heart of love and forgiveness.
It's also important to remember that our ultimate belonging is in Christ. Psalm 68:6 tells us, "God sets the lonely in families." This could mean finding a community of believers who accept and support you, even if it's not your immediate peers.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord, we lift up this dear one to You, asking for Your comfort and guidance. Help them to see their worth through Your eyes and not the opinions of others. Grant them the strength to forgive and love those who mistreat them. Guide them to a community where they feel accepted and loved. We pray that Qnxoytor will know that their ultimate belonging is in You. We also pray for their cousin, thanking You for her support, and asking that You bless her for her kindness.
Lastly, we gently remind you, Qnxoytor, that true change comes from the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ. If you haven't already, consider inviting Him into your life. It's only through His name that we can approach God, as Acts 4:12 reminds us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." If you have not done so, please consider understanding more about Jesus and making Him both your Saviour and Master.
