Rejection...We all hate it.

Rejection...we all hate it. We go to great links to not be rejected. We will strive to please others. Do the right thing. Say the appropriate thing. All for the sake of not being rejected.

When we are rejected we will go back and question our motives.  What we said wrong.  What we did.  Beat ourselves up for bad decisions.  We will hear the voices...you can't do anything right.  Or question is God good.  Can He really redeem. Or we may say I don't need them anyway.  I can do this on my own. We let the rejection identify us instead of who we are in Christ.

The world will tell you we don't have enough self esteem. You need to just believe more in yourself. Build your confidence. You need to love yourself before you can love others.

Jesus was rejected and despised. He was left on the cross alone rejected by the world and His Father on our behalf. Not only that He suffered the pain and suffering you and I feel all at once. He went through every emotion and physical suffering we can ever experience alone. He was rejected so we can be accepted by the Father forever. God is not angry with you ever because of your sin or any thing you might do. His anger was turned on His one and only Son instead of us. We forever have His favor. He is on our side. Working on our behalf for good. Even the worse thing that you might be going through God is working something good for you out of it.

So if we have the total acceptance of the Father we should not fear rejection. But be in awe of God and listen to His voice and leading of His SPirit and His word through Jesus living in and through us. Fear of man should not direct us but Jesus. Perfect love cast out all fear.  That perfect love is the Love of God for you!
