Defeat Rejection for Good with God’s Promises

I gasped reading the text on my phone. The hard-to-swallow message caused a long-buried hurt to resurface, rejection. Maybe like me, you wish for an antidote to defeat rejection for good.

Although I have felt the sting of rejection throughout my life, this was a lesson from the school of hard knocks, adult education department. 

Rejection happens in every stage of life.

Perhaps like me, rejection yanked the rug out from under your fragile heart too many times. 

But whether people introduced us to rejection early in life, later, or both, there are promises we need to cling to whenever people reject us.

And these truths change our perspective as we compare rejection from people to acceptance from God.

(1.) Defeat Rejection for Good: Rejection is something done to me, not who I am.

Rejection leaves a hole in our soul wider than the Grand Canyon. Yet, we make the mistake of equating what is done to us as a title to wear. The actions of others should never pen the labels we stick on ourselves.     

Because rejection is an action, not a person. Rejection does not make me a reject. 

On the flip side, acceptance is not only an action, but also a living being—God. So there’s no need for me to have an identity crisis. I take my cue about who I am from the great I AM.

We are patterned in the image of our Creator. Accepted. Valued. Precious. 

Rejection is an action, not a person. Rejection does not make 'me' a reject. So there’s no need for me to have an identity crisis. I take my cue about who I am from the great I AM. #Chosen #Belonging Share on X Read More…
