Overcoming Rejection

In the wilderness, and usually throughout most of our lives, we are constantly being prepared to be used by God on a high level; that's why the preparation takes so long and is so thorough. God is creating a whole army of modern day Joseph's and Moses'. Because of this fact, all during your life, you may experience a lot of rejection and misunderstanding by people. You may also feel, that no matter what happens, that you will always be at the short end of the stick during a dispute, and that you have to always be the one to suck it up and apologize every time, even when it is clearly someone’s else's fault.

Rejection can sting especially bad if you already have a poor self image, if you are carrying a lot of shame around inside you because of past or present failures, or if you have not forgiven yourself or someone else for past sin and mistakes. When someone criticizes or cuts you off in a relationship, it can feel like they are confirming all the "bad" you already believed about yourself, and are trying to keep buried. This can lead to angry and revengeful behavior that causes you to become abusive, fearful, insecure, obsessive, bitter, and resentful.

The bible states that Jesus was despised and rejected by men, and that He was a man acquainted with sorrows and grief. God knows the deep searing pain of being rejected unfairly, but yet He does not reject or retaliate in return. God knows how to comfort the brokenhearted, and it can be at some of your lowest points in life that you seek Him out and find Him the most. God knows everything about everyone, and we must receive God's love for others and ourselves, in order to deal with the problem of self-rejection, or rejection by others.

If God has shut the door on one of your relationships, then try to just leave it in His hands, rather than banging on the door, or slipping notes under it. I know this can be hard to do because you may feel compelled to try to justify yourself, and God may not allow you to do it. God will break us of our fear of man, and need for approval by everyone, and He does this by allowing you to be clearly misunderstood, and then forced to trust God with it, rather than manipulating, controlling, condemning, or serving your way back into someone’s good graces.

God just wants you to accept yourself even with all of your mistakes and faults, with everyone disapproving of you, with people gossiping about you, and/or with people being unforgiving toward you. You are a fallible human, but you are a work in progress, and although you are not perfect, someday with God’s help you will be. God doesn't want what other people do, or don't do to control what you do, or don't do. He wants you to trust Him, even if all other people seem to forsake and reject you. Job went through this process, and in the end he was greatly blessed, and had a much deeper faith because of it. Receive God’s approval and acceptance today, and be free of your fear of rejection from people.
