“The stone which the builders refused became the corner stone." Psalms 118:22 “Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are ye when they shall reject you and persecute you, and speak all that is toxic against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice for your reward is very great in Heaven.” Matthew, 5 "When we are rejected, God will make good use of us in other ways. Rejection is a worldly experience. In the spiritual realm there is no rejection." Susan "When Jesus finished telling these parables, he left that place and went back to his hometown. He taught in the synagogue, and those who heard him were amazed. Where did he get such wisdom? Isn't he the carpenter's son? Isn't Mary his mother, and so they rejected him. Matthew 13. Milestone I crossed a long-awaited milestone today. All my life, I have been plagued by my fear of rejection. At some point in recovery, the fear of it happening went away, but I was still devastated after it happened. About a year ago, I realized that I could process rejection much more quickly than ever before. Now, 42 years later, I was rejected by someone yesterday, and it did not phase me in the least. Praise the Lord. I no longer care about what people think of me. Attachments:
