Rejection

Experiencing rejection can be very trying to our faith. A lot of times when we’re faced with rejection the first thing we try to figure out is, “what’s wrong with me.“ Instead of always asking that question we need to reroute our minds to believing, if it doesn’t work out then God has something better in store.

Don’t go through life thinking you’re not good enough or that no one will ever want you. You have to understand that’s a lie from the devil. Remember that God thought you were so valuable that he sent his ONLY begotten Son to die for you, now that says a lot (John 3:16)! You have to know that God sees you as the apple of his eye and he has your best interest at heart (Psalm 17:8). Don’t think because you didn’t get the job you wanted or the attention you desired from a person that your worthless. Know that God loves you and sometimes certain doors are not opened to protect you. At times God will also allow us to see or experience a certain thing to let us know that better is on the way and he hasn’t forgotten about us. God sees more than we can see and wants us to have enough faith to trust him to give us better. He has the perfect job for you, the perfect husband/wife for you, you stay on the mind of God. When I say perfect I don’t mean flawless but I mean something or someone God has picked out solely for you.

So stay encouraged and remind yourself that God accepts you, he sees you as good enough, he’ll never refuse you. No matter what our background looks like God will never reject us. Renew your mind to keep the right mindset. Give rejection the boot and keep reminding yourself of what the word of God says. Stay in the race. -Eri @EriHolmes
