REJECTION IS REDIRECTION
The Apostle Paul, too, had a ministry laden with rejection. He was constantly running for his life, being stoned, almost at the point of death, and losing friends for the sake of the of the gospel.
At Paul's last defence in 2 Timothy 4:16 soon before his death, Paul says " At my last defence no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me" can you just imagine? And he said BUT THE LORD STOOD BY ME.
This is a word many of us fear to hear. Rejection hurts and is often misinterpreted as a negative sign. It's regarded as an evidence of our unsatisfactory skills or self. It hits us hard. It makes us wonder if something is amiss with us. We start tearing ourselves apart with self criticism and doubting our skills and ability. However it can teach us and redirect towards better things.
