How to Overcome Rejection Aug 05 2010
"As for me, I said in my alarm, 'I am cut off from before Your eyes.' Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to You." - Psalm 31:22
Rejection is a part of life. We all face it, whether trying out for a team and being cut, being fired, or laid off. Toughest of all may be rejection in the family through a divorce, a child feeling rejected by a parent, or one sibling rejecting another.
Remember, God's power is sufficient for you to overcome rejection. How?
1. You have to trust Him completely to bring good out of the worst rejection.
2. You have to confess to God any feelings of resentment, bitterness, or anger and ask God to forgive you. Remember, "Bitterness is the poison we swallow while hoping the other person dies."
3. You have to ask God to give you the power to forgive the person who rejected you, and for the strength to move on.
Jesus is our ultimate example for dealing with rejection. He chose to forgive on the cross, and He gives us the power to do the same when others reject us.

Yes, report it NevermindThis is a "keeper". I read it over and over. It's effect grows with each reading as I internalize the importance of each point.

Yes, report it NevermindGod changed my life completely and forever one year ago over this very subject. I have a very painful past, but he turned it all around by showing me how Satan works. How he uses the pain in our lives to try and destroy not only us and our family relationships but our relationship with God. I am eternally greatful to our Heavenly Father for his word and the clearity of who and how our advesary works. All my life I have tried to find out as much as I could about what God wanted me to do and not to do. I was so focused on trying to be good and not upset him or make him mad that I never bothered to study up on the evil one. I wanted to stay as far away as I could from him, not giving him any notice. But now I have found him out! I have been set free! My relationship with God is finally on the right path. I am so grateful to my Awesome Father, and our relationship is growing deeper everyday! I, in the eyes of the world, am poor, but I have always been rich in the blessings of knowing the creator of all things. He came to me on July 22, 2009 and said; I know you well; you aren't strong, but you have tried to obey and have not denied my Name. Therefore I have opened a door to you that no one can shut....It does'nt get any better than that! He is all we need.
