Rejection

All of us have experienced our share of rejection. They said “No” when we applied for the job of a lifetime. She said “No” when we casually invited her to coffee. The bank said “No” when we applied for the loan to save our business or buy our dream home. Rejection comes in many forms and from many voices. Rejections do more than take the wind out of our sails, they can send us into a spiral of despair and defeat.

Many people already feel like God has rejected them. They see no evidence of blessings in their lives. They do not hear His voice. They feel alone and fearful. Read these words of Jesus from John 6:37; “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”

But you say that you are too bad for God to accept you. Read the verse again. Jesus said that “whoever” comes He will “never” cast out. But you say that you have rejected Him too many times. Again, Jesus said that “whoever” comes He will never cast out. There is nothing about you that Jesus doesn’t already know. And yet, He invites you to come to Him and He will receive you and never cast you away from Him.

Please accept His invitation to come to Him! He will never reject you.

After 16 years of vocational ministry, God has called me to a simpler ministry. Now I just proclaim His truth simply to those who are open to hear it. God is speaking through His Word and His creation.
