Have You Ever Felt Rejected?

I would have to say I have felt rejected most of my life, if not all of it.

I am writing this to tell you, God can take that rejection away from you, and give you his peace and grace.

In today’s society, it seems that many that are feeling rejection. They feel that if they are not loved and accepted, they must be insignificant, that there must be something wrong with them.
I am here to tell you that is nothing but a lie from the enemy, who wants you to feel that you are the one with the problem.

How many of us have even thought Jesus Christ has rejected us?
I can tell you He has surely not.
In all actuality, we should praise God if HE is taking us to a place where we can start to look solely to him for comfort, peace, love and acceptance, for man will assuredly fail you.

Isaiah 41:13
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

The apostle Paul found his strength in God, as we can do the same.

2 Corinthians 12:10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

A lot of people think God will not use them because their life is not perfect, that is another lie straight from the enemy.

Mark 10:18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

It is God who works in us, we can do nothing, only He can take that rejection, unbelief, self pity, from us when we put are faith in the shed blood and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Jesus told us in:

John 15:5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Hebrews 4:15-16
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Yes dear sister from the beginings of my life I have felt rejection..until I came to know my saviour. Then I learned that He to suffered rejection of the most undeserved kind. He was despised and rejected of men.
He taught me that He loved me and that the world would hate me, because they don't know Him.
I have learned that though we may be despised also by the world, it doesn't matter, all that matters is that He loves us, and He has a plan for us for His eternal Glory.
