And they threw him out of the synagogue...
When Jesus heard what had happened, 
he found the man 
and asked, 
"Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
The man answered, 
"Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him."
John 9:34-36 NLT
Our friend who was born blind, rejected by society, was miraculously healed, simply told his story, and was rejected again. 
If you're familiar with rejection then this is a story for you. 
Jesus heard about what happened to him, and went to find him.
The rejected.
Jesus finds the rejected man and brings words of life, words of hope, words of a future.
This person is rejected by the very people who should be wrapping him in, supporting and caring for him, and yet, even though he has done nothing to deserve being treated like that, the truth of his story was too confronting.
If you know rejection, fear rejection, know that you're not too much for Jesus. 
He is for you.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
