Yesterdays services were good at church. Growing into maturity requires really listening to the Word that is being preached. And not forgetting it when returning home. And then mulling it over and over till it becomes part of ones life in obedience.
The message my husband preached was all about rejection. Who has not dealt with that subject? It's painful to be rejected, it undermines ones confidence and if a person is already insecure, rejection will disrupt their relationships, and..... let's face it, rejection causes all sorts of repercussions. It was a lot to think about and hold onto when faced with rejection.
I know age doesn't help one learn to deal with rejection. Many elderly people also suffer from rejection issues even in their old age.
Neither does money- rejection hurts everyone from the richest to the poorest. Nor does addictive behavior or drugs these only numb the pain for a little while then the pain of it returns with a vengeance.
Only the presence of God can heal the deep wounds of rejection in one's heart. Learning to practice the Presence of God in one's daily life is essential to handling the rejections of people, life and circumstances. In His Arms is found acceptance, healing and wholeness.
Wherefore beloved seeing that ye look for such things be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace without spot and blameless. II Peter 3:14
