This is NOT okay!!!!! Nobody should ever walk into any place and ever feel invisible or unimportant. Especially not a place that is suppose to portray and share God's love and acceptance. Neither should a person stay in that environment for a prolonged period of time and continue to sink into a depression.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
For in the same way you judge others, you
will be judged, and with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you."
Matthew 7:1-2
"Therefore, as God's chosen people,
holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
with compassion, KINDNESS, humility,
gentleness and patience."
Colossians 3:12
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, KINDNESS, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self control."
Galatians 5:22-23
Don't ever stay in a place because you feel you have no other place to go. There are places where you can go and feel accepted. There are places you can go and KNOW you are important and wanted. Don't give up after the first try. Keep searching. There are places where you can go and everybody is treated the same, not shown favoritism. You are NOT a number, or just another face in the crowd. You are valuable.
