So....there is this song called "Outside Looking In" by Jordan Pruitt. You probably heard this song in the classic Disney movie called "Read it and Weep". If not then you probably never heard of it. I really enjoy listening to it because it speaks to my heart about being left out.
The main chorus is:
"You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in"
Today, I was in a situation where I felt left out and it was not a good feeling. You would think that the age of 21, I wouldn't have these feelings anymore. You would think that these situations only happen in elementary school, middle school, or high school and …show more content…
However, I believe that we shouldn't feel embarrassed or shamed about difficult or uncomfortable situations, but we should embrace these situations and talk about them because everyone goes through this situations. I think it is apart of life. It is about learning about yourself, and growing into the person that God wants you to be.
Many times it feels like you are alone in a situation and that on one knows what you are going through. However, that is not true. I believe that we just think that because know one talks about it because we are afraid or shamed by it.
I was thinking about the Bible and it came across my mind that Jesus felt left out many times. His disciples and His people turned their backs against Him at the time of His crucifixion. I believe Jesus knows what you are going through. It is important to remember that God will always be there for you even when it feels like no one else is and all you got to do it TRUST Him.
Also it is important to realize that if you see someone being left out, you make that ultimate decision..."to treat people the way you want to be treated."
My goal is if I feel left out, I am going to stop thinking about myself, and start my focus on how God can use me in that situation.
And... learning to TRUST Him even in difficult situations.
