Have you ever felt like an outcast, as if you don’t belong or fit in? Do you feel like the proverbial “redheaded stepchild”? Many people suffer with feelings of inadequacies. But God tells us we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image. He tells us in his word to trust Him. Psalm 56:3–4(NASB) «When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?»
Emotional and spiritual health is linked to our level of trust in God and our heavenly Father wants to prove it’s safe to trust Him. Trust is hard when we’ve been abused, especially by those who we expected to love and protect us. But we are robbed of joy and peace when we settle for less than God’s best.
