Have you ever been frozen out of a situation? Maybe you were left out of a lunch group, denied an opportunity to join an organization or otherwise rejected. Situations like this remind me of a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel The Fellowship of the Ring: “Deep roots are not reached by the frost.” You are a son or daughter of the King (John 1:12). Rest in your knowledge of that. It gives you roots, a firm foundation, to endure being slighted in this life (Psalm 1:3).
