THE GIFT OF "LEFT OUT"


THE GIFT OF "LEFT OUT"

There are nine gifts of My Holy Spirit, but there are many more spiritual gifts, that evolve out of life experience. Some are very painful and develop like a pearl in an oyster. The slow irritation of sand causes pain, while making something precious and beautiful. Some of you have been overlooked from time to time and it has no effect, but others of you from early childhood and even now suffer the pain of being left out, or last to be chosen. 

Somehow your name is never on the list of invitations. When compliments are given, you are never mentioned as a part of the work force, the cast, or the team. At times you wonder if you are invisible, and would like to brush it off, but it causes inner pain that just won't go away. You wonder why it is that no one notices you, unless you are the butt of a joke, and the object of a good laugh, but even that eases the pain and is better than always being left out! My child, the truth is, You are actually a kingdom pearl in the making.  "For you while still alive you are always being delivered unto death for My sake, that My life might be made manifest in your mortal flesh. [12] So the death working in you, killing your flesh, works life in others."  2 Corinthians 4:11-12 KJV
There are millions of people in your star struck world that are slowly killing themselves trying to be significant enough to be noticed by mankind. Some do it quickly and jump off buildings, inwardly saying, look everybody, watch me die. Some tattoo their entire bodies, some go almost naked, some are loud and sarcastic, some use vulgar language between every other word, and some live a short daredevil life. Multitudes abuse and fill their bodies with chemicals, just not to be left out, and suffer the pain of loneliness. 

"Woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Here is one alone--no one with him; he neither has child nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labor, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, neither does he ask, For whom do I labor and deprive myself of good? This is also vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility); yes, it is a painful effort and an unhappy business." Ecclesiastes 4:10 & 8 

They need to be introduced to My kingdom where every everyone is significant, and plays an important part. But who will notice them and see their condition for what it is? This is where you, who are My gifted "left out" pearls come in! I need someone who has the gift of "left out", because they see them, and recognize them, and feel their pain, all at the same time. The lukewarm western church is as star struck as the world, where talent, fashion and looks are more important that character. Sin is overlooked because of popularity, and the left out ones are given the impression that I too, am leaving them out. You have a gift that easily recognizes them, and you are called to immediately notice them, hug them and lift them up to a place of significance, letting them know they have an important part in My kingdom. 

Always remember "the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls, [46] Who, on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46 AMP You who have been left out, are one of My precious pearls! Eventually I will connect all My pearls, and they will be the adornment of My bride, for everyone to admire.
