Dealing With Rejection

Rejection is a challenging ordeal that can test us. But as believers, we're provided with a comforting perspective on such trials. In the words of Isaiah 41:10 (TLB), "Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand."

The feeling of being rebuffed can sometimes leave us questioning our worth, but Isaiah reminds us of our inherent value in God's eyes. His promise to be with us, to help and uphold us, proves our worth is not contingent upon human approval but anchored in His love and purpose for us.

As we stand firm in this truth, we can move through life's inevitable rejections with a spirit not of defeat but of hope and resilience, knowing we are cherished and upheld by the One who matters most.

Quote

Action Point
