HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS | DAY ONE | YOU BELONG

Are you feeling lonely, abandoned or left out in a particular area of your life?

Maybe it's with friends or at school or work? Maybe even in your church or marriage?

It never feels good, does it?

I used to have chooks and we had all sorts of fun names for these chooks from KFC to Bucket ...as in bucket of chicken, Nugget and of course we had a rooster called Red -Red Rooster. But one year we had these two hens that were sitting on clutches of eggs.

One was a wonderful mother, she was really gentle with her chicks, nestling them safely under her wings...but the other one wasn't, she would just peck each chick to death every time one hatched. This meant that I had to watch and rescue each chick and raise it by hand.

I found myself with eight chicks that couldn't go back to their mother, so I devised a plan to see if I could get the gentle hen to adopt the rescued chicks. I stuffed them into my jumper and sat beside the fence next to where the hen was sitting.

One by one I just released them under the fence ...and then it happened, the hen gently stretched out her wings as wide as she could and tucked all the chicks safely around her and her own chicks...and adopted them as her own.

Jeremiah 31:3 says:

”I have loved you with an everlasting love and with loving kindness I have drawn you to Myself.”

People may reject you and try to peck you out of your sense of belonging, but God chose you before the foundation of the world...and He'll never leave you or forsake you.
