God, I am weary of being "nice," and subsequently trampled beneath people's feet. Thank You for loving me, even if the world doesn't....Thank You for understanding the pain of rejection.
The primary purpose of life is not fellowship with other people, but fellowship with God. Christ said that His followers would be rejected, even by other "religious" people. Christ didn't befriend everyone, because He discerned the true nature of people.
Sincerity of heart distinguishes false Christians from genuine ones. The way is narrow indeed, for sincerity is rare. So many people treat church as a social club, yet a true Christian is set apart from the world, including selfish ambition and popularity contests.
