It’s safe to say that we all will experience some sort of rejection or disappointment in our lifetime, whether its rejection from friends, family, colleagues, spouses,jobs etc. I don’t say this to sound negative or anything,but that’s just part of life. But in the midst of rejection we can be assured that life doesn’t always happen to us, it happens for us. Our disappointments, rejection and closed doors can serve a bigger purpose, it can teach and redirect us to better our lives. So perhaps you didn’t get that job that you applied to, or maybe your relationship didn’t last, your business might have closed down, maybe you didn’t get accepted into that college, whatever it is, it’s not what happens to us that really matters but how we react to what happens to us. It’s about how we use the pain for our victory.
When we go through rejection, It’s often easy to feel like everything is working against us, but that very rejection might actually be working for you if you change the way you view and perceive it. The very thing that you thought you best with, might be the very thing you best without. Every closed door is not a detriment, some doors are meant to be closed so that you can open another door that will lead you to better opportunities, and some relationships need to end to make room for better ones. The mistake you make will teach you to great lessons,which you can learn from. At the end of the day everything happens for a reasons and for our good even though we may not realize that at the beginning or as we are experiencing it.
Let Romans 8:28 comfort you ; “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
Rejection can serve as a form of protection. You might not know what you being protected from, from that rejection and closed door. That rejection may be a blessing in disguise. Don’t take rejection personnel, often times when we are rejected it has nothing to do with us. It just mean we just don’t fit the part for that specific job, opportunity or person, it has to do with them,and not you,it has nothing to do with your worth. And that’s okay because not everything is for you and you are not for everyone. Why worry and waste time in convincing someone of your worth and value or trying to kick down a closed door when there are people who will willingly acknowledge your worth and doors that are readily open for you.
So next time you face a rejection don’t fall into self-pity, fear ,insecurity and resentment, but redirect it by changing the way you perceive it. If you are facing rejection, let go with grace and trust and believe that better is on it’s way. It all requires patience, perseverance, and faith. So rejection or redirection? you choose.
