1 Peter 2:4 NLT You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.
If anyone knows anything about being rejected, it’s Jesus. Unfortunately, He’s still being rejected today. Although He was rejected, He overcame rejection and fulfilled His purpose in the earth.
We may have been rejected by parents, a sibling, a spouse, a boyfriend or girlfriend, but that doesn’t mean we can’t accomplish our purpose.
We overcome people’s rejection by magnifying God’s acceptance. When we know God loves us, He’s never going to leave us, He’s truly for us, and wants to make us happy, people’s acceptance becomes minor.
The pain of past rejections may still be there. We usually create walls in order to avoid being hurt again. However, when we give that pain to God, renew our minds with what His word says about us, and allow His love to heal our wounds, we can go through life without being guarded.
Let those pains go and receive God’s acceptance and fulfill purpose.
