The Bible NETWork ~ Impacting the World for Christ one post at a time!

What I have been doing is praying about this situation. When you have relatives that reject you due to whatever the situation maybe is aweful. I am glad that God opened my eyes to realize this. For a long time I was BLIND and could not figure out why I was left out of the things that went on within the family. I know now, I have accepted it and I will continue to pray for forgiveness for all of them. They do not realize that I know it, but God reveals a lot of things to me, especially those things that seems to puzzle me and put me in those deep thoughts. The reason I feel that it is silent rejection is because, within the group, no one says nothing, phone calls sometimes if I call first, emails sometimes if I send a email first, and sometimes they are not answered either, Letters no time. Now people has said you have to break the Ice First. I don't know how many times I have broken the Ice, It is about for someone else to have the pick.

I feel for you and your situation and pray things will get better as time goes on, I think we all have family members that are closer than other family members I know I do..

that is why knowing God is so important .... God is the only one who will never leave us or forsake us.

Keep close to God, and keep praying for your family that God would do in their hearts what He has done in yours ....

And my advice would be just to keep treating them as well as you would like them to treat you ..... but to do it for God, and not for any return .... look at it as your gift to Him.

I cannot say it any better than Jesus Himself ....

Matthew 11:28-30 28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and my load is not hard to carry.” Context (NET)

in Christ
