Confession

Yesterday I read this verse in James 5: "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed." Confessing sin isn't fun, but here's my confession: Sometimes I think that nobody cares about me. And lately God has shown me that this isn't true, because Christians are taught by God to love one another (1 Thessalonians 4:9), so my brothers and sisters in the faith do love me. And it's sin to not believe the truth. It also hurts people who love me when I think they don't love me.
This is a big change of perspective for me. It's easy for me to feel like the misfit, but there really aren't any misfits in God's family, are there? 1 Corinthians 12:7 says that the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all. Sounds to me like we all fit in, and are needed. Awesome!
