Feel Abandoned?

“I feel as though I have a hole in my soul.”

“ People treat me as though I was invisible. They don’t even acknowledge my existence.”

“I work, I go to church, I raise a family. But that’s all there is. Somehow, I feel disconnected.”

“I hate to be alone.”

“Deep down, I’m afraid—as though as though at any moment something bad will happen.”

You Can Be Healed!

For years, I knew that something was wrong with me because I often felt  terribly afraid and inferior. I thought it was because I’d grown up poor and discriminated against because of my Jewish heritage. 

One day in midlife, it hit me. There was a deeper cause for those  feelings.  I’ve always believed that Daddy abandoned me! That’s because, when I was a  youth, an adult told me that my father became mentally ill because life was too hard for him and he just gave up. As a result he became  permanently withdrawn and uncommunicative. I concluded that if my father didn’t fight those feelings in order to take care of me, then I wasn’t very important.   

I didn’t realize it but those feelings stayed with me long after I became an adult. My brain knew the real truth, but I felt as though my father hadn’t loved me enough to stay around.  I felt abandoned.

Perhaps you feel the same way.  Your reasons are probably different from mine.  Your mother may have left and never come back. Your spouse tossed his or her marital commitment on the trash pile. A lifetime friend or cherished relative slammed the door between you. Now you feel like one of life’s rejects. I understand. That’s exactly how I felt. 

But along the way God began to reveal His love to me. Gently, He led me down the pathway of healing. Each month, on this website I’ll tell you how He’ll do that for you. From Him, you will learn the truth and the truth will set you free.
