Does God Really See Me?

Have you felt rejected by God?

Have you ever prayed fervently just to feel like your prayer wasn’t answered?

Has rejection from God’s people ever left you feeling like you were rejected by God Himself?

Have you spent much of your faith journey feeling like the church was a club you’re just waiting to be kicked out of? Or one you weren’t allowed to enter in the first place?

Have you ever heard the words, “The Holy Spirit didn’t prompt me to invite you.”? (Ouch.)
