11: The God of Hope Seeks out the Estranged and Rejected

Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangementThere’s always hope no matter what the situation. But that’s not easy to see or feel if you’ve been abandoned or rejected. It can seem so elusive at times and that’s why I love the scripture in the Bible that says God is always with us. If we go to the depths of the sea he is there. If we go to the far ends of the earth, he’s there too. He is the one you always count on. The one who promises that he will never leave you. Do you find that hard to believe? I did. I talk with people who have faced rejection and found that they were always the ones reaching out. They longed for connection and when it was ignored or rejected, the pain came flooding over them again. And I’ve talked with women who aborted a baby only to discover they could no longer have children. The despair was so great.  I feel your pain and I know what it’s like to lose hope. And I want to encourage you today. No matter what’s happened, you can have hope that won’t disappoint. Let’s dive in. Find the full transcript for this episode plus resources for women at Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace at beckykolb.com/11. Becky Kolb helps women with estranged relationships find lasting peace and the ability to move forward from guilt & shame, learn the process of forgiveness, rediscover God and what he says about you, develop boundaries and non-negotiables for healthy relationships.  And the result is living your passion and purpose with peace and losing the weight of anger and bitterness! Contact Becky at www.beckykolb.com/contactDownload the free guide to work through Finding Peace Amid Estrangement at www.beckykolb.com/guide
