I envisioned two different types of people who are separated from society – those who are shunned by others (people who “are cast out”), and those who choose to shun others (people who “cast themselves out”). Isolation is the opposite of what God intended for us; therefore, we as Christians need to be reaching out to both “outcasts.”<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo Outcasts\u201d<\/p>\n
The most commonly seen outcasts today are people whom others reject
\nBased upon a character trait or habit, or the inability to make their own image reflect.
\nOutcasts more often than not assemble in groups to gather comfort from each other.
\nSince they are separated from the world\u2019s \u201cnormal\u201d people, every outcast becomes a brother.
\nBut there is another, less-frequently seen outcast, those who distance themselves from everyone.
\nThey are isolated because they choose to be; they walk alone under the light of the sun.
\nBoth outcasts can be saved by the grace of God, made possible by the sacrifice of the Lamb upon the hill
\nOf Calvary-but if Christ\u2019s children do not reach out to those who need Him, then who will?
\nWe have been told many times before that it is better to give than to get.
\nSo, after receiving His everlasting grace, how can we the others who need Him forget?
\nSo pray that God would give you a heart like His own, and reach out in love that goes deeper than flesh and bone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
