One valuable lesson I learnt last year was "Rejection is just God's REdirection." I promise you, if you hold onto Jesus with a death grip NO MATTER the situation, He will turn it around for your good. Don't mourn too long over the job that rejected you, or the door that slammed shut in your face, or the loved one that rejected you. God will turn EVERY disappointment around for your good (Romans 8:28).
Notable people who have been rejected in history:
- Albert Einstein was labelled mentally retarded. Parents and teachers thought that he had a low IQ. They wrote him off. They rejected him. Einstein became the world's most influential scientist and philosopher in the world.
- Walt Disney: Described as unimaginative and uncreative. I'm not even going to get into much detail with his story. I just have one word for you: Mickey Mouse
- Harland David Sanders: Perhaps better known as Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Sanders had a hard time selling his chicken at first. In fact, his famous secret chicken recipe was rejected 1,009 times before a restaurant accepted it.
- Joseph: Rejected by his very own flesh and blood. Sold into slavery by his own brothers and thrown into an Egyptian cell. He rose from slave to Governor of Egypt
- Jesus Christ: Rejected by Jewish society, ridiculed by family members, betrayed by close,intimate friends is today the Prince of Peace, Seated on the Right Hand of God, Ancient of Days, the King of Glory, and the list goes on.
- You: We will allow history to write this part for you.
