When Father and Mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up Ps 27:10
Has death or divorce robbed you. Do you grieve for lost hugs. Such loss can cause so much pain, that life can become a struggle.
To grow up listening to endless arguments, and never see affection. It would be easy to think such was normal life. Then later to find yourself asking "How should I act as a parent?" "Why do I still feel like a lost child?"
David said "My father and and mother walked out and left me, but God took me in" Psalm 27:10 How wonderful. God can hold you and heal your pain. When you are hurting God can put you on his couch and be your "Wonderful Counsellor"
Is 9:6
When you feel like an orphan, He can be to you an "Everlasting Father" who never abandons his children no matter what. With Him you are always safe and protected. You are His child, which means if something is important to you, its important to Him too.
More than that, He can send people into your life who'll be to you, the father, the mother, the brother, or the sister you never had. "God sets the lonely in families" Ps 68:6
Don't focus on loss. Be aware that God wants to take you in. Recognise those he sends into your life to make it better.

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or
sword?
8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are
accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him
that loved us.
8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
Your quotation from the Epistle of Romans is fine, and great teaching for the Church.
The expression and intent of my thought in the O.P. was to minister to, try to uplift in Jesus, those who have suffered the torment of being rejected. So many precious folks suffer such trauma today.

Thank you for this post. :thumb I had felt like that for years until I was saved. My father pretty much abandoned my brother and myself. Never calls, never visits, doesnt even make an effort to see his grandchildren. He picked his new wife and family over blood.
I was truly lost until the Lord sent my husband to me. Now I have a wonderful Family, (my husbands family), and thanks to a persistent teenager, I am now comfortable in my Chrich family also.
This post resonated with me greatly. I was lonely, lost, empty. Christ filled me up with the Spirit, so I wasnt empty, and God gave me a family to love!:hug:sob
Glory be to God forever!

So many, are traumatised and broken by such experiences. Many never fully recover. I have become aware just how big a problem this has become today.
