What is rejection to you and how did you overcome or doing to overcome?

MY disscussion has hurt and pain and rejection i would like to talk about. How does it feel to be rejected? what were things you did to fight the rejection away and replace this with the love of God and his everlasting care and his love toward us?

I feel hurt and frustrated when I am rejected by those whose friendship and approval I seek. However, their rejection of me doesn't have anything to do with me as a person. As long as I know I am doing my best to be mature and responsible, treating people well, and communicating clearly then I know I have no part in the rejection. It is a reflection of their values and misperceptions. Sometimes I try to talk to them if I think they have made an incorrect assumption. Otherwise I pray for them and let them go find people they like more, and I do the same. Love, Sheri

Sometimes the best answer..is no answer. God said, "Be still and know I'am here". If you want to see God..then be quiet..pray...praise...and watch His work. If you were rejected, then maybe what you were doing...was not what God wanted. If the matter was prayed on, and I mean by you and the other party...it is a two-way street. And if neither prays...then a 3-way street, because God seeks to be your master.He will never reject you, just your ideas ..sometimes. in Jesus's name ..Amen

Divorce was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through because it was a rejection of me, personally.
But God wanted to get my attention and I sure wasn't listening. What I did to get through it, Christian counseling, anti-depressants, and learning to live one day at a time.

The opposite of reject is accept. Jesus Christ suffered rejection, and died on the cross to buy our redemption, if we believe. ..He loved us that much...If you replace your rejection..with the Love gift from Jesus Christ..and ask Him into your heart..you will feel His love start to wash over you...your acceptance of Him ..will replace any human rejection in His time....Amen

I am having such a difficult time with the current rejection I am experiencing. Intellectually, my wife leaving was probably in my best interest, as I have come to learn that I suffer from an "attachment hunger" or "relationship love addiction", which explains the how and why of getting engaged in 4 mos and married 3 mos. later. My therapist has helped me see that my wife has several characteristics on histrionic and narcissistic persdonality disorders (of which I had never heard of), which as she explained and I read about, the lights went on describing our marriage and entire relationship back to our first date.

So i seem to be stuck in an ongoing "mental conflict" about thinking I want and need her back, with the reality of the feelings I had more often than not, that everything had to be about her, that my opinion didn't matter, and being confused how a "strong Christian woman" could be so insensitive to a man who had and was giving her anything. When I began to "pushback", she said I had problems, and she decided to move out while I was on a mission trip to Honduras.

Needless to say I was crushed, and I am having major problems with forgiveness as she continued to take and ask and take and ask even after she left.

I cry out to God every day, and pray, and attempt to surround myself by people I have known for years, as I had allowed her to strip me of who I know I am, and buy in to who she said I was. I read, and reread God's promises, pray that He gives me His heart; and attempt to the look for His purpose in allowing this, and claim His Romans 8:28 promise.

I have learned that there can be many purposes, and one of the greartest lessons I am attempting to hold on to, is, wouild I feel as badly as I did, if I came home and found out that Jesus had moved out? When the Holy Spuirit put that into my mind, I was humbled and sad, because I can't honestly say that I would have, and perhaps that is why God allowed it.

What I do know, is that it will only be God and Jesus that will enable me to move through this pain of rejection, and saying and believing that I trust them until which time I really do.

Blessings to everyone on this site

Hello, Did you think that maybe Jesus stripped you of the things that were in your way of going to Him. Believeing in Him for everything you need. Jesus is sad when we continue to put things in front of Him, when He is trying to get our attention. Jesus has a plan for our lives, seek Him with all your heart. You will come home to Him, and say a prayer for your wife to find Jesus too. God does not seek to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters for others..in Jesus's name Amen Be Blessed
