Rejected to Accepted
Morning! Ah today, we learn to let go of rejection and open up to acceptance! Are the thoughts in your head weighing heavy? Do the words of someone rejecting you keep clouding your positive energy? Are you replaying conversations of hurt and pain? Many times sleep will not come because the devil will use the negative situations, then causing them to grow. Galatians 6:4, “But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.” Alas, we must find the moments that bring joy, and encouragement. Moses was rejected by the people who raised him, then his own people. But when he found Jethro, later his father in law, he was accepted and then chosen for God’s purpose. David was rejected though God chose him to rule his people, but he was finally understood and accepted. The woman at the well was rejected because of her lifestyle of sin, but Jesus accepted her and filled her with living water! Jesus chose twelve men of many titles, lifestyles; then one betrayed Him, one denied Him, then the others hid. But when He gave His life for us all, they accepted Him completely and continued His work. Never let any rejection determine who you are and what your purpose on this earth is for. Always accept that every rejection is a step to acceptance. Truth is, the only acceptance you really need is God and what He has in store for your future. Smile at the rejection, trust in the acceptance; it’s just God showing you a much better acceptance!
