THE REALITY OF REJECTION

Note to self and for everyone. Hoping this would help.

Rejection is a painful experience no matter what the cause, and all too often, we don't assign enough blame to the rejecter. We simply agree with his or her evaluation of us and carry a feeling of inferiority or of being "damaged goods" all our lives.
But does rejection really affect our basic worth? If individuals don't appreciate me as a total person because they don't like my looks or my performance, does that mean I really am what they think I am?

They usually are but REJECTION IS NOT A MEASURE OF TRUE WORTH.

Sometimes, we make excuses and cover up for the people who reject us, because if we acknowledge their cruelty, it hurts too much. Worse yet, we keep on trying to be accepted and as a result face rejection over and over. To accept the way things are and to admit you would like them to be different are two different matters. DON'T PRETEND that you are fine. Tell the Lord how you feel. He knows it anyway. And, if you can, share your feelings with a trustworthy friend who will pray for you.
Sometimes we make ourselves unhappy by envisioning changes that aren't going to take place. If you spend your life focused on making some other person change, you're wasting your energy. The problem is not yours; the fault does not lie with you. You are not unworthy. Instead, the other person may be incapable of the normal responses of an emotionally healthy person.

Instead, SHIFT YOUR FOCUS TO GOD'S ACCEPTANCE OF YOU.

When we trust Christ and establish a relationship with Him, He accepts us with arms wide open. His acceptance is what gives us value. It is from Him that we should derive our self-image.
Don't give the person or persons who reject you permission to put a price tag on you. God has put His price tag on you. You are worth so much to Him that He came Himself to die for you so you could be His son or daughter, born into His family by faith in Jesus Christ.

REMEMBER YOUR WORTH IN GOD'S EYES. REMEMBER YOU ARE LOVED BY THE AUTHOR OF LOVE.

DEAR, REJECTION IS NOT A MEASURE OF YOUR WORTH.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT.
