—Isaiah 56
by: Gabi Patz.
Isolation is often self-fulfilling. We feel lonely and convince ourselves we do not have friends, so we do not reach out to anyone. Because we do not reach out, we do not make plans to see anyone and therefore fall further and further into isolation. Isaiah 56 reminds us that no matter how lonely we may feel, we all have a place and name in God’s Kingdom. He does not discriminate or exclude anyone who desires a relationship with Him. We can live in confidence, knowing that the place and name God gives us in heaven are far better than any recognition we could receive on earth.
