Psalm 118:22 (NKJV) 22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
Have you ever felt rejected? Have you ever felt like many people just don’t accept you for who you are?
Humans can be pretty cruel. It’s not what God intended, but it happens all the time, every day, everywhere.
We are all unique in our makeup; our looks, our personality, our likes and dislikes, our ways of expressing ourselves and much more.
Sometimes people will like us because of those traits, while other times we will find people disliking us because of them.
We have all been rejected by others at some point in our lives. It’s inevitable.
It’s a sad fact of life that this happens to everyone at one time or another.
We’re here to tell you today that being rejected by man isn’t the end of the world. Does it hurt? It can. In fact, it can be devastating for some people.
But here’s the truth that can make the difference for you. Jesus was also rejected. He was rejected by the very people He was sent to save… His own people.
They didn’t believe anything He said. They didn’t even believe Him when He performed miracles in front of their eyes.
But God used Him to offer salvation to humanity, through His death and resurrection.
And God can use you, too, despite what people tell you or how they make you feel.
So, today, lift your eyes to heaven and look to God for acceptance, not to man.
You will never know what God has in store for you if you spend all of your time worrying about what man thinks of you.
