And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
(KJV)(Judges 11:6)
Jephthah was an illegitimate son who was chased out by his own brothers from his country yet God used him as a judge over Israelites. If we suffer unfair rejection now, don't blame others or feel discouraged. God used Jephthah although he was despised by his brethren n he lived as an outcast. Today if we are driven by others because we do not "fit" the standard of 'normal' set by society, community or churches let us not feel sad. Everyone has place in God's family HE will see us no matter if others won't! If we love our God n trust Him alone we will fall in His plan to be used. Jephthah did not act bitter or show anger to his brothers he endured it it's a good lesson for us too! Like the people sought for Jephthah as their lead we will be called by the same people who rejected n call us outcasts!
