When feeling rejected

Rejection can be a bitter pill to swallow. Are you going through the terrible and humbling process of rejection?

Look, you don't have to force people to like you, love you or even to accept your ideas. Your workmates may not appreciate your inventions, your project proposals might have been flashed down the drain. Maybe your spouse has left you for someone else. There are many times that you will feel rejected in your life. Sometimes the rejection will come from total strangers, but when it comes from close people it can be very devastating. Rejection causes some of the criminal acts we read about in the papers; "a rejected husband murders his wife and children in cold blood", or "a dismissed employee assaults his boss". These are grievious experiences, which can be avoided if we all learn to accept rejection. Listen, the word of God tells us in Psalm 118 vs 22 that "The rejected stone has become the cornerstone." If you think being rejected is the end of the world, think again! Rejection can open new opportunities for you. If you allow God to work through you, rejection can bring out the best in you.

Rejection can be the beginning of a new and better era in your life.
