b'If you ever feel left out or mistreated, if people talk about you instead\\nof talking to you, you are not alone. It can be hard to deal with the pain\\nof rejection or getting less than what is fair, but it can be comforting to\\nknow that you have a God who designed you, created you in a special way,\\nand loves you. God knew what He was doing when He made you. He gave you the\\nhair color and texture you have\\u2014the hair others might not like, but God\\ndoes. He gave you the smile you have\\u2014the one you might feel self-conscious\\nabout, but He loves to see. He gave you your personality\\u2014the one others\\nmight tease you for, but He is delighted by. You were designed in a certain\\nway. You were put on this earth for a certain reason. You are not an\\naccident or a mistake. We all have days we feel rejected and hurt. God is\\nthere for us on those days. He sees what we\\u2019re going through and has\\ncompassion on us. He created us, He made us special, and He loves us. \\u25cf\\nEmily Acker \\u25cf What is one thing you like about the way God made you? \\u25cf When\\nit\\u2019s difficult to remember that God made you on purpose and He delights in\\nyou, who are trusted Christians in your life who can help you remember?

He was betrayed and abandoned by His\\nfriends, insulted by unjust rulers, and mocked by crowds of people who had\\nsung His praises only days before. Jesus endured all of this\\u2026for us. If\\nwe\\u2019ve put our trust in Jesus, we can know that God will never reject us,\\nnever mistreat us. How might this truth give you comfort? You have searched\\nme, Lord, and you know me.
