You are not so shunned that Jesus does not desire a relationship with you. Have you known rejection? You will not know it from Jesus. Have you known isolation? You will not know it with Jesus. Do you see yourself as the awkward one that nobody invites to parties? You are invited to Jesus’ party. Do you see yourself as the ugly one, the broken one, the dirty one, the shameful one? He wants to know you. He loves you so much.
