Everyone has been rejected sometime in their lifetime-as a child by friends one tries to fit in and often gives in to peer pressure. As an adult, you still try to fit in: to be one of the country club guys, to be one of the party time girls, to fit into sororities and fraternities, to belong. Rejection comes from friends, family, spouses, employers: rejection comes from all over. How do you react to it, asks PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, MARIETTA PA and BRISTOL TN, BRINGING BACK GOD. Do you lash out at everyone around you, making others' lives miserable as well as yours? Do you sit in a corner and pout or pull a pity party for yourself, still making yourself miserable and likely others around you? Or do you give it to God?
PASTOR JOHN COLLINS preaches from the Holy Bible 100% and believes every word that is written in it. He says that Book says that God is with us all the time, no matter what and He knows what it is that we need before we know it to ask for. We are tried daily for our faith to become strong in God and Jesus, because God wants our souls redeemed. That is why He sent His son, Jesus to Earth, according to PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, so that we can redeem our sins through Jesus Christ and His death on the cross, his resurrection is our salvation. So, should we mope about or act out our frustration and anger when we are rejected? No. We should turn to Jesus and God: that is what They are there for. Prayer, redemption, support, relief. Do you value the opinion of men over God? That is what the negative feelings related to rejection are-you value what others say over what God wants for you. The Pharisees were like this. John 12: 42-43: "Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God."(KJV). Let go of those feelings of rejection. Simply love God. Don't push Him away. Give your feelings of rejection and self pity over to Jesus and ask for forgiveness for not trusting in God. Find your way back to the cross, seek forgiveness, stop feeling sorry for yourself in whatever manner you do it. Run your race and live each day to its fullest.Don't dwell, harp, or wonder what if. Eventually, you will be rewarded. You just have to trust God. Fully.
God bless you.
