Sometimes there are very painful things of the past that seem to never go away. One of these things is the pain of rejection. The greater the rejection the deeper the wound. Many years can go by and there are times it feels as if those wounds are all healed. Only to have the memory of them to reoccur without warning, along with pain.

Maybe the pain is not as sharp but it seems that year after year, those wounds of rejection remain buried in our souls. A lot of the suffering of Jesus was from the rejection of those He loved. That is the hardest kind of rejection there is.

Recently I learned that something I was carrying around as a deep pain within me was something I did not see. I prayed for so long about it yet Jesus was silent all these many years on the matter.

Then only a few days ago He spoke revealing to me that it was rejection and not what I had thought all along. However, now He has caused me to see and understand that the work of rejection asks for more in regards of sacrifice.

Rejection teaches us to love purer and it keeps us going deeper in Christ. It is a work of loving refinement. It is the work of the Cross. There is beauty in being rejected. It teaches you to fully rely on God and creates in you indestructible eternal love in the here and now.

Those who love in Christ's love being rejected are the freest, happiest people in the whole world being exercised in it.

"Heaven is but a company of noble venturers for Christ. They are not worthy of Him who will not take a blow for the Master's sake.”
― Samuel Rutherford
