THE PAIN OF REJECTION
Brother James, OIC
Isa 53:3-4 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
If you like myself have ever been rejected the first thing to remember is that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ well knew the pain of rejection. For us the rejections in this life are there to turn us to Him for care.
Mat 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
His being rejected, was solely because, His love the world did not understand; selfless, all giving, willing to lay down His life for another, giver of all good things. But our love more times than not wants something back. We were not being selfless but selfish. In other words I Love You for what you can do for me. There is no doubt we all need to be loved. First and foremost we can know Jesus Loves us His Father Loves us and IF we allow their training into our hearts Their Spirit will prepare us to love in such away that we are whole and complete and then if rejected not cast down so low that spirits of depression move in.
I’ve loved what I thought was with selfless love but the more the challenges and competition came the loyalty once given me was removed and replaced by rejection. I was like a boat adrift in a storm and not only adrift but sinking in depression.
Rejection, loss of a loved one through divorce or death, scars from abuse or the bondages of the negative addictions of sin all have a solution and it is in the Word of God.
