Rejection

---Rejection Hurts---

Rejection

Rejection, is the personal refusal or denial made
Openly to another or to others,
That is true or untrue,
That attacks the character or origin of an individual,
Either verbally or by physical harm,
Real or mentally perceived,
Purposely done or not, that hurts and tears at the heart within another,
That socially isolates that individual and by mental change makes another feel inferior.
If that individual has experienced rejection by others throughout life,
And the Lord by God's Word is not the total Light that leads them through life.
They will build a wall between them and all others,
They then will withdraw behind,
And protect at all cost, with actions and words,
Either to drive others away, or if not they will become a people pleaser to hide within,
For fear of being rejected again, in someway,
By interpersonal relationships with others.
Rejection, all will face from time to time on their journey of life,
Some more than others,
And even those that are wrapped within God's Word and follow Christ,
 They will still feel the sting and hurt of it.
But remember, we are fully responsible for the harm of those actions or words cause another,
For rejection is not of God, but of Satan.
Reach out as Christ, giving love and help, to bring hope and good to others.
God will bless by changing that heart within,
And bringing you closer to Him.

Lord, thank you for being there for me in my time of need, and my friend throughout life,
