For those feeling Rejected

Tuesday, March 10th 2014

Have you ever felt rejected? Or are you feeling rejected now? 

I DO. I HAVE.

I can and will be the first one to raise my hand. As a 23 year old (as of 7 days ago) who was suppose to be done at 21 but is still on a path to finish undergrad,  as a very single woman by societies standard, and the list can go on,on what I lack and how the label of rejection can be placed over my life. I have felt that way, and the thing about feeling rejection is if you let those thoughts manifest it will continue to eat at you. You will continue to enter that "R" hole and then continue to sink further and further in without a light at the end of the tunnel.

Rejection. From our childhood we may have had an experience that "stunted" a particular part of our self esteem that we haven't, or won't let go since. From our past, from people who perished because of a lack of knowledge and hurt us, we felt rejection and held on to it like it belongs apart of our identity. And from our current situation, from something that may not have been out of your control or from a flicker of dwindling hope rejection is felt. 

[The thing about feeling rejection is if you let those thoughts manifest it will continue to eat at you]

You see rejection left my life the minute I realized that Jesus Christ had came to die for me, a sinner, a "reject", a cast away. The thing about the feeling of rejection you are feeling or were feeling is Jesus came to die for you too! He came to wipe that label of shame, guilt, and unworthiness away, forever, FOR GOOD.

The LORD says:

Right now, if you are or were weak the LORD wants to draw near to you, to comfort you. He made you, you are his child and he will save you, if, once you allow him in.

He also says in 2nd Corinthians 12:9:

The Grace that manifested on the cross of Calvary, which Jesus Christ, the Son of God came down from the heavens to die for our sins, is sufficient enough for you! In our time of weakness, when those thoughts of rejection want to overcome us, we can run to our savior with open arms and remind ourselves that label doesn't belong to us! Because His love, His grace, and His image has come upon you.

[The Grace that manifested on the cross of Calvary, which Jesus Christ, the Son of God came down from the heavens to die for our sins, is sufficient enough for you! ]

We are co-heirs of God, I am a co-heir of him, and when I accepted Jesus into my life, started reading the scripture,  and praying, I knew the worlds standards was far beneath God's standard. Sister, brother, when you walk in God's glory, when you want to serve him, by giving your heart to him, you are stamped a winner, a champion, number 1 in his book. 

Your singleness in mans eyes, is married with Him, God as your husband in his eyes. 

The stunted growth in mans eyes is the beautiful careful knitting of the precious gift He is brewing inside of you.

You will meet every goal and promise the Lord has for you, if its in Gods will for you. The best schools, marriage, children, wealth and more.

I want to invite you tonight if you've been carrying that label, and you are tired  and looking for a means of escape, Jesus is calling you home, he wants you to seek him , if you knew him to re seek the joy of salvation and to seek him more!

Isaiah 55:6

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

My friend, will you today:

Acts 14:15

And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

Are you ready to turn from the vain things of the world, from the ideas and desires that call you a name contrary to your God given name of Victory?

He is ready, he wants you, and his promise is once you repent, receive him, and start following him you will receive life. You will live life more abundantly and those thoughts of rejection will leave faster then they ever tried to creep in.

John 6:33

33 The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

I love you and I am praying for you <3
