There is a saying which states to let go and let God. It means to let go of trying to control everything yourself. Let God handle the rest.

• When rejection stamps your heart with a sting so painful you feel like giving up, seek wise council.
• When life throws an unexpected curve ball your way, have some faith.
• When the problems you are facing seem insurmountable, say a little prayer.
• When you feel defeated just look to the cross.

Jesus Christ was a man rejected. He faced persecution by his enemies and was betrayed by his friends. Jesus knew about rejection. He became the iniquity we face each day.

Jesus walked the road of rejection carrying a cross on His back.

• He took the cross for us so we wouldn’t have to.
• A burden so heavy, he fell several times.
• A rejection so powerful a crown of thorns bled over His face.
• He knew about pain and sorrow.

• He understood isolation.

• He was dismissed, rebuffed, ridiculed, laughed at, mocked, and spit upon.

Yes, He faced rejection and He is still being rejected today.

He paid the very high price of rejection so we wouldn’t have to. We have been redeemed, bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus. His grace is a gift to anyone who wants it and his mercy reigns true forever.

Whenever rejection comes knocking on your door, remember Jesus on the cross.

A personal relationship with Jesus will provide you peace and contentment in the face of rejection. It is a peace which transcends all human understanding. Take these words of encouragement with you today.

You are unique and wonderfully made. There is no one like you. All your experiences, personality, and traits are a part of you and no one else can take that away from you. No personal tools of rejection will allow God to stop loving you.

The message of the cross remains the same today as it did yesterday. It represents redemption, a claim no one else can take. So the next time rejection causes unsettledness in your life, leave all your cards on the table.

Follow the truth of the cross and let go of pretending everything is alright. Facing rejection is better with someone by your side, for two are better than one.

Rejection takes its toll on your self-esteem and self-image but you don’t have to stand there alone.

Take a moment to reflect on this message.

It is more than a feeling; it is a price that has already been paid.
