It is a painful trial to feel rejected by those nearest to you, and to feel that many others have also turned away. The heart longs for acceptance, and when it is withheld the sorrow cuts deeply. Yet there is a higher acceptance which alone can satisfy the soul, and a higher Truth which alone can set us free.
You pray that all truth will come out, and that is a prayer after God's own heart. Holy Scripture is the standard of the Truth of God. Your Word is Truth. Buy the truth and sell it not. Buy only the Truth, buy all the Truth, buy the Truth at any price and buy the Truth now. The Truth we need is not the shifting opinion of men, but the plain, straightforward utterance of God. Give me Infallible Truth. I want facts, not fancies. Seek to use that plain word, The Lord appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love.
Know this, that God's heart to His people is love, and that love is unalloyed and everlasting. Get hold of this Truth that God really loves you, that you are the object of the intense delight of the Most High, and what more would you have? Be amazed. Be enraptured with this. Yet many things are absolutely necessary for the acceptance of any service rendered unto God, and the first is that the person who attempts to serve God should himself be accepted. Our acceptance is not in ourselves, but in Christ. Jesus is entered into the heavens for us, can we doubt our acceptance with God? This is the year of acceptance, the Jubilee, when men were set free without money, simply because Jubilee was proclaimed.
This Truth ought to take from us all fear of man. Why should you, O believer, be afraid of a man that shall die, or the son of man who is but a worm? While this Truth should banish our fear of man, it should also ensure our submission to the will of God and strengthen our faith when the storm comes. Human acceptance may fail, for even family may not understand us, but the Gospel state abides. Above the wreck of all things it remains and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
I pray for you that you will know the Truth of God so certainly that you are able to remember it just when you most need it, that you will be brought to find your acceptance not in the approval of men but in the finished work of Jesus Christ, who alone is the way of salvation, and that you will walk in that practical Truth where actions are consistent and of a right and straightforward course according to His Word. May the Lord reveal Himself to you, show you His everlasting love in Christ, and give you grace to love that Truth, to live it, and to find peace in His acceptance, even while you commit those who have rejected you to His mercy and justice, for the day of acceptance and the day of vengeance are both in His hands.
May the Lord grant you to know experimentally that you are accepted in the Beloved, and to rest there, and may He bring forth all that is hidden into His light, that you and all concerned may see clearly and be drawn to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom alone there is forgiveness and new life.
