25 Powerful Bible Verses For Women Who Feel Unwanted And Unloved

Here are 25 beautiful, inspiring bible verses for women who feel unwanted and unloved.

Hey sis! Have you ever felt like nobody loved you?

Has there ever been a time where you questioned if people wanted you around?

I’ve dealt with feelings of being undesired and unloved at various times in my life. Whenever I feel unloved, unimportant or insecure, the word of God reminds me to whom I belong. 

This is also what I want to use the bible verses below to remind you that you are not unwanted or unloved. God loves you just as you are today.

 

 

What Does God Say About Feeling Unloved and Unwanted?

Since I was about a teenager I can faintly remember struggling with feelings of rejection. Some of these came from experiences with my schoolmates, interactions with teenagers and even the people I hung out with at church.

I specifically remember being teased because I preferred to speak in Standard English instead of the local dialect “Patois”. I had no real problems with speaking Patois, but I was much more comfortable using Standard English.

For this I was often told that I was acting “too white” or I was being an “Oreo” or any assortment of names they could find. I was also teased because of the kind of music I enjoyed and the fact that I really like the programs on PBS Kids at the time.

 

I Felt Unwanted And Unloved

It seemed like everywhere I went, nobody really wanted me around.

I was a nuisance. I was too quiet. I was too weird. 

All of these experiences really demolished what little self-esteem I had. This would later lead me to make choices and looking for love/ validation from all the wrong people.

I would seek validation from boyfriends, from medals I would win and I even tried to seek validation in being a wife. That didn’t end too well at all.

Like me, many of you often try to overcome feeling unloved the same way I did—by trying to earn it from other people. This didn’t work for me, and most likely it won’t work for you either.

The best way I’ve found to overcome these feelings is to realize not only who I am but what I am in Christ. No-one can ever love you more than God and in the following verses, God reminds us of His love for us.

If You Feel Unloved, Remember This

When you feel abandoned, forgotten, unwanted or unloved, it’s time to remember exactly who you are. The bible tells us time and time again that as children of God, we are loved by Him. We are more than enough.

We don’t need the acceptance of or the validation that the world might offer because they use earthly measures to determine our worth. God knew us before we were even conceived and He chose us before we were even born.

In Christ, you will never be somebody’s backup plan or second best. You will never be overlooked, unable to measure up or unwanted. People may not see your worth. People may not want you around. 

But God always will.

All my love,
