How To Deal With Rejection.

“We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.” Proverbs‬ ‭16:1‬

 ‭Being rejected can hurt us badly, whether it is from a guy, a girl, a job application, a home offer, or anything else you can think of. It hurts but often times it is for the best. You often aren't rejected due to not being good enough, sometimes it is due to not being a part of God's will for your life. If you've been praying for something in your life and you feel as though God has rejected you on it, please know that sometimes what seems like rejection from Him is actually a redirection. Being redirected by God is a miracle in disguise. Imagine if God let us go down every path we thought was best for our lives to only let us see that it was a mistake. We would end up on some bad paths that would oftentimes leave us broken by our thoughts of what was "best" for us. God's plans are always better than our own. The way to deal with rejection from humans is a little more difficult than understanding how God has our best interests in mind. Others rejecting you is oftentimes part of God's plan also. If you dated every person you ever liked you might have ended up with the wrong person, if you got the house you thought was perfect you might end up having to do more work on it than thought, if you got that car you wanted so desperately it could break down the day after you got it, if you got the job you thought was perfect you might not end up getting offered your dream job instead. Anytime you're rejected from anything in life look at it as a redirection as something better is waiting for you. Today, take life's redirection as something to be grateful for. God's plans are great for you, even when life disappoints you. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Now all glory to God, who is able to make you strong, just as my Good News says. This message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time.” Romans‬ ‭16:25‬ ‭ “The Lord detests evil plans, but he delights in pure words.” Proverbs‬ ‭15:26 ‬ ‭ “And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.” Ephesians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭ “Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success.” Proverbs‬ ‭15:22‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
