Feeling Rejected?

Life is tough. No matter how good everything seems, it remains tough. Men act tough throughout life cycles, but are they really that tough? As men, rejection is something which affects us all. We don’t like being rejected. That’s the truth. I have been part of clubs and organizations throughout my adult life and, without realising it, rejection was part and parcel at many occasions. People form circles of friends, whether at work, church, even family members. We call these “clicks” and they do not easily allow you in, never mind making you feel comfortable. You are rejected from these groups. Although you try and befriend some of the others, you feel that “cold shoulder” approach every now and then – rejection is not easy, but it happens.

As men it’s tough to feel rejected, especially when you have done nothing to deserve it. It could be that the specific group live at an income much higher than you can attain. Maybe the group is all involved in some sport type; like golf – and you don’t play golf. So these groups don’t always make you feel welcome. You feel you are a lost outsider, not welcome into that “click” and rejection kicks in. At least there is someone who will not reject you at all; unless you refuse to accept that someone. His name is Jesus Christ, our Saviour and loving God. When you accepted Him into your life, it becomes a long-term relationship; and thousands or millions are part of this great group. No one feels rejected.

In 1 Samuel 12:22 we read the following; “For the sake of His great name the Lord will not reject His people, because the Lord was pleased to make you His own.” Wow! I don’t feel rejection with Him. It’s unbelievable. I’m part of the greatest “click” ever while living in this world. God’s kingdom here on earth is mine forever. And so it can be for you too. Don’t feel rejection but feel loved and welcomed all the time. Yes, people, even Christian people may reject you but God never will. Doesn’t that make you feel happy, overjoyed that you will never feel rejection when walking with the One who loves you. What a mighty God we have! I’m glad that He is part of my life and he will never reject me. Enjoy!
