A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Yahweh says, 'Because the Syrians have said, "Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys;" therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.' 1 Kings 20:28 WE... -

The Black Sheep

The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. Psalm 34:17-19 WEB.
I grew up as the least of my family, who happened to be the least of another family. I was the youngest of thirteen children and a stepchild on top of that. Every day after Dad left for work, my stepmom made it clear that I did not belong there, and as long as she lived, I never would.
Have you ever felt like the black sheep in the family? Made some mistakes, or maybe like me, you are the mistake, and they never want you to forget it? After enough pain, we become closed off from the world. Yet, being desensitized is not the answer, for when you can no longer feel pain, you can no longer feel love.
God can heal the broken-hearted (Psalm 147:3). So be encouraged, for Jesus has friends in low places. He found me there. Jesus redeemed me, added me to His family, and healed my heart. It took time. He took up the cause of troubled and hurting people, and He will take your burden today if you let Him.
Remember, today is the first day of the rest of your life. What you have been in the past is gone, and you get to decide who you will be from this day forward. God looks at our hearts and knows us better than we know ourselves. If you are one of His black sheep, your brightest days are still ahead!
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I believe that You are there for me. When the world looks the other way, You still look my way. Please help me see the world through Your eyes. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

when my Dad was living I had to live with him for 7 years. at one point of living there I had to sleep on the couch or on a matress on the living room floor beacause he had a 2 bedroom apartment and a room mate. My Dad room mate passed away and I got to have my own room. while living with my Dad I wrote a list of things that I needed and wanted. I had no job or income and became deeply depressed. I did not have a job and i got turned down from disability atleast 3 times. I was helping my Dad and my brothers wanted nothing to do with my Dad they did not help me. My Boyfriend moved in the home and help me with my Dad. I cooked, cleaned, and ran errands for my Dad. I took him to Doctors appointments as well. my Dad girlfriend turned against me, and she smoked crack. Dad put her out of the home and I finally got a peace of mind. I prayed constantly. After years of heart ache and disappointment Heavens doors opened up for me. I got aproved for social security and I bought clothes, and a new bed. I was able to take care of my self. I got my Biography published, I had finally published my book. I looked at my list of Goals after five years and God Had given me everything that I had prayed for. There were so many times that I wanted to give up But Some how I kept going. My heart feel pain but I am able to be strong through Christ.
Praise God, Madalyn, for your testimony of His loving care ❤️
Amen
Amen Lord Jesus!
