Rejection
…the one who comes to Me I will by
no means cast out. - John 6:37b.
How would like to be Dallas Hill, Jr.? He applied for
the AT&T Universal credit card and his application was rejected. The
company because of a glitch in its computer system sent Dallas not just one
rejection, but 2,986 rejection letters. You have to wonder if Dallas will ever
apply for another credit card after such a massive rejection?
Most of us have experienced rejection in one form or
another. Many of us know the pain of rejection after a job interview. Sometimes
the pain is delivered quickly on the spot, and other times we have to wait for
weeks for the rejection letter to arrive. Some of us have been fired or laid
off from a job, while others continued their employment. Many have experienced
the rejection and pain of divorce whether for the adults involved or for the
children. Rejection comes in many forms, and we can count on it knocking on our
door several times during our lifetime.
How do you respond to rejection? For some it means a downward spin into depression,
which takes weeks, months, or even years to end. For others, rejection does not
seem to affect them and, they continue on as if nothing happened. How can
you recover from rejection? Acceptance from other people is based on our
behavior, and upon that own person’s worldview. However, acceptance from God is
based on faith. God accepts all those who come to Him in faith through Jesus
Christ.
Let’s consider for a moment the person or institution
that has rejected you. A thousand years from
now will their opinion really matter? A thousand years from now the
only opinion that will matter is that of God. And God has promised what
to those who have come to Him? He has
promised to never, ever reject them. No matter what failure you may
experience, God will never cast you out. Having this as a point of reference in
our lives will help us to recover from rejection by keeping it in the proper
perspective.
Whenever we are rejected, let
us always remember that there is One who will never reject us.

the pain. Please pray for an end to the racial hatred in the USA and that it will
