Have people abandoned you because you have chosen to put God first in all you do and are not ashamed to admit it?
Have you felt alone in a crowd during break time when everybody is talking about the night before when they went out and got so drank that they woke up in a strange place with someone they did not know and yet they do not seem bothered about their lifestyle?
Have you felt alienated when someone asks you how your weekend was and you say that you spent it at a retreat praying and meditating on the word of God; then suddenly everyone looks at you like you just lost a nerve, then silence, then they start moving away and leaving you sat there alone?
Have you felt out of place because you never attend those parties that everybody else goes to but instead choose to spend a quiet time at home praying and thanking God?
Find comfort in these words from Isaiah:
But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
and they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40: 31
Eagles don't fly in flocks but are usually spotted soaring alone, high in the sky; catching the air currents with their wings spread wide and making flight look effortless.
God calls us to soar in flight...not to constantly flap our wings.
Be Blessed.
