Don't be alarmed. God would never reject you - He will never leave or forsake you. I am referring to the rejections we often face in life. Whether you feel like people are rejecting you, or your work, or even your church... This is God's way of protecting you. This is an important lesson that God wants us to learn: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight. (Proverbs 3:5) Difficult? Maybe. Have you ever praised God for an unanswered prayer? I finally did this morning and I felt incredibly relieved. A job that I wanted with all my heart and worked very hard for was given to someone else. I spent an entire day sulking and feeling terrible about myself. But not today. Seek His will in all you do and He will direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:6)
We should thank God for all of the doors that He has opened and thank Him even more for the doors that He has closed in our lives. We should trust that He knows what is the best job, place, and relationships for us. We may not understand the present and much less what the future holds for us, but if we trust in Him, we can move forward knowing that He has our best interests at heart. After all, He knows all and understands that there may be something far greater just around the next corner for us.
So, if you have been rejected in life (loss of job, divorce, etc...) avoid walking the bitter, painful path and walk in faith allowing God to comfort you and know that you will come out stronger on the other side. Remember that The Lord is on your side. Relax and trust Him.Give yourself to Him completely and realize that any rejection you go through is only temporary here on earth, and that God’s plan is perfect and will always prevail.
