Rejected by men loved by God.
1 Peter 2:4 NKJV
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,
Rejection.
To be rejected an inevitable event(s) if we believe in anything worth believing in. This is life. To be rejected by men and the world.
What does it really mean?
Is it life's arrows assuring us that this is just not it? By being rejected by one thing or many things are we now open and "accepted" into another? The transfers of life the epic vehicles.
Divine exchanges divine transfers.
I remember not to long ago venturing into a particular activity alone. In being alone I was reassured by my Heavenly Father that I was going to have to get used to doing certain thing's alone. The ability to be able to stand alone. Being a highlighted mandatory thing for me.
I suppose we are taught to think that rejection is that fatal blow of our designs and destiny. We are taught to be afraid of it. Not only to be afraid of it but wear it as a garment that perpetuates fear. Some times permanently. After fear then shame. Both are useless in a kingdom life.
Why is it rejection looms over us like a dark cloud pausing us to only later go on to chase it? Making us only more rejected and fools.
What are we missing?
Rejection shouldn't move us and it shouldn't break our hearts either. It should teach us something about our heavenly Father and ourselves. Moving us into our identities of truth and out of our need to sacrifice those precious pearls which makes us who we are. Which we are too often willing to sell ourselves in exchange for a few sweet lies that ignite our interests and die quickly, coldly.
We can also now find ourselves putting ourselves in places of rejection which then reveals a larger problem that will not go away until it is confronted.
So why is it today in 2021 is rejection plaguing the masses? I don't even want to really say rejection "issues" because that implies, we should linger in this place and position longer than you or I deserve.
It's not really an issue. The better part is we have freed ourselves from the lie that our worth was based on another's assessment. Now stepping into the place knowing exactly what and who this is. Our worth our value. Not just in a marketable sense, in the world and the mirror. All the assigned errors, black outs, white outs, labels, no labels, others have given us. Can we stomach the truth about ourselves? The TRUTH the impartial truth separated from all the noise and chaos of this world. Rock hard. And when and if we can make peace first with our heavenly Father and ourselves are we then willing to accept the truth about us and how this is going to impact the world. Because it will for all of us in a different measure. The real truth even if that truth is "unpopular" with the so called masses and rejected by most.
What if we were made to be rejected? And could possibly like it and dare I say embrace it.
Part of the divine Providence of God to be rejected by many precious to few. Could that be reasonable and audacious all at the same time!
The very thing that rejects me qualifies me.
The splendor of a loving Father.
That these love notes are the ones we do not want to miss. Written in the real love the world seems to toss over in exchange for lots of things that eventually equate to nothing. To learn to love the love notes written in these strange harmonies and places where we expected something else. Now able to leave with everything that matters.
That rejection in the right dosages with the knowledge to apply it correctly lead us to Him. And it can be that piece of our life that finally places us in the course of divine structure. The manifold we need to be a part of.
Let us be quick to reject the lies we tell about ourselves, the lies others tell about us. Be a place of understanding ourselves clearly. Not afraid to unlearn all the things that never really were us.
Enjoy.
Jesus Christ Forevermore
