Yup, rejection sucks. Who doesn't struggle with low self-worth and fear rejection at times? No one, I'd guess.
Everybody gets rejected: it makes us angry, afraid, and annoyed. One of the sad results of living with rejection can be developing a skewed understanding of God.... We start to think that He’s sitting on our shoulder ready and eager to bust our chops for any infraction of "da rules."
We forget that He loves us--and that His love is abundant and complete.
God isn’t about rejection. It doesn't matter how you perform--or don't. He doesn’t care if you have a big nose or can’t play baseball or failed geometry or want to talk more than most people want to listen. His arms are always open wide. Not only that, he made you just the way you are, and he happens to enjoy just being with you--a lot!
You know that Jesus gets what it feels like to be rejected. So when we get rejected, we're in good company. He knows exactly what we’re going through.
Rejection in this life is inevitable. The pain of rejection is real. BUT so is the unlimited love and comfort of Jesus. Feeling rejected? Run to Jesus. He’s waiting for YOU with open arms.
