HIS WORD IN THE WORLD![JN.1:1-12]
WHY I LOVE BEING REJECTED AND EVEN GOT USED TO IT ! (PART ONE)
A silly statement to make,no doubt. But,it may not be that silly for someone who realizes that he has spent a better part of his/her life either in one form of rejection or the other and its after effects!
Okay, what is rejection?
Rejection is the sense of being unwanted.
You want people in your life to love you, yet you believe that they do not love or accept you.
Let's examine some series of rejections. Take a deep breath and reflect...do you remember the last time you felt rejected or wounded in your emotions? Was it a person who walked away from your life? is it a teacher who said you are not good enough? Was it a boss who terminated you or overlooked you for a promotion? Are you being overlooked when you are looking for your life partner? Or maybe it is someone in your life who told that you are not good enough, no matter what you did to try to impress them?
It doesn't matter how,we all know rejection hurts. It makes us think that we are not good enough. Rejection is something that is very, very painful. YET, I'VE DISCOVERED LOVE IN IT... I MAY EXPLAIN THIS LATER!
“Rejection is both a cause and consequence of depression.” And of course,we all know that personally, it's a battle I'm engrossed in(at least those reading our write-ups)
However, I've come to terms with the truth that REJECTION is not something that we should be afraid of. This is not something that we must get discouraged or depressed about. We do not have to work a lot of time in our lives to prove to the world that we are somebody, worth loving and paying attention to. RATHER REJECTION IS OUR FRIEND IN THE PURPOSES OF GOD, NOT OUR ENEMY. Have you ever considered the fact that rejection in itself can help you to grow spiritually?
LET'S LOOK AT IT FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE, ACCORDING TO HIS OWN WORD.
JOSEPH: In the Bible, Joseph was rejected by his brothers. Since Joseph was the father’s favorite son, his jealous brothers put him in an empty cistern, they finally sold him to Ishmaelite merchants for 20 shekels of silver.
But irrespective of the rejection Joseph faced;
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. (Gen 39: 2)
MOSES was rejected over and over again in the wilderness by his own people.
DAVID was continually running from Saul because Saul rejected him out of his jealousy.
LOOK at APOSTLE PAUL, everywhere he turned; the Jews, Pharisees, Sadducees hated him, rejected him and did the best to get rid of him.
REJECTION can happen to everyone. EVEN CHRIST JESUS faced REJECTION from HIS FAMILY, the society and even HIS DISCIPLES;
For neither did his brethren believe in him. (Joh 7: 5)
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. (Mat 13: 57)
He came unto his own, and his own received him not. (Joh 1: 11)
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. (Mat 26: 15)
You also know that Peter denied Christ Jesus thrice.
3. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isa 53: 3-4)
BUT THE RESULT OF HIS NUMEROUS REJECTIONS;
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (Php 2: 9)
Christ Jesus was rejected, but God exalted Him. Sometimes we come out better on the other side of rejection than we would have been if we had not gotten it.
If you’ve ever been rejected you are on the list with these people.
We shall continue from here when we meet again by His Grace and Mercy, Amen !
