Rejection Hurts, But God Can Comfort Us!How to heal from a broken relationship? NeedEncouragement.com

Please contact us if you have questions or comments or want encouragement.

It is a simple fact that people are wired with the need to be loved and to love others. Sometimes others reject us for some reason or another, and that can sometimes really be painful. Rejection can hurt, but remember that God loves you and is always watching over you. Go to God in prayer and be comforted by His love. Rejection hurts like a broken bone, it takes a little time to heal sometimes, yet we must always remember that we are never alone when walking with the Lord.

Do not let others break your heart and mess with your mind any longer! Stand tall and stand firm, knowing that God has got your back! Sometimes God allows hurt in our lives to show us where He does not want us to go, which can also open the door to where He wants us to go, even if it was not our initial intent. God is a good God, he loves us and gives us free will to choose, that is why it is so important to pray about things to get God’s perspective instead of our limited wisdom and personal resources.  ~ Bill Greguska

Psalm 66:20  Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dealing With Rejection The Right Way!

 

Rejection Is Not The End Of The World!Rejection Hurts, God Comforts His People!

If you think about it, rejection can be so very, very devastating. It can break your heart and leave scars that can last for years if not dealt with appropriately. Some things that can hurt are; mean words, bullying, ridicule, being sworn at, being told you are hated, and being called ugly, stupid, and unwanted.

All these derogatory words and actions can be the source of deep wounds to any of us! Most likely, you have experienced some or all of these things. We give others a lot of power and control over us. But if we are wise, we can break that bondage and go to God for the acceptance and love we need!

Do not let rejection knock the wind out of you; stand up for yourself, and do not allow others to attack you repetitively. Get with a close friend or family member. Work out solutions to any rejection you might be experiencing. Don’t let rejection affect you any longer; you are worthwhile, loved, and cared for by God!

Guard Your Heart Above All Else, And Trust God!

How Were You Rejected In Your Life?

I was lucky that most people always liked me while growing up. I played basketball in grade school and Pius High school, which made being popular pretty easy. People knew me as a friendly guy, a little goofy, but with a good sense of humor. Sometimes our hearts must go through crushing times of pain, despair, ridicule, and rejection, but we can find comfort knowing that God will never leave us or forsake us; we need to call on Him in prayer and walk with Him in each day. 

Keeping this perspective is how we can make sense of life and endure. We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed but not in despair 2 Corinthians 4:8. I am sure that you, too, can relate to such rejections in your life also. So, what do you do with them? First, take all your anxiety to the Lord because He cares for you. He has a plan for your life and does not want you to lose heart. You need to trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding but follow His will, plan for your life, and leave the rest to Him.
