Rejection is not eliminated from your life’s journey—even when it’s for your identification with Jesus. But rejection does not have the power to keep you from God’s best unless you allow it to. Rejection can be overcome through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, and we can boldly pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and sending Jesus to die on my behalf to pay my penalty for sin and reconcile me to You. Jesus, thank You for taking all my rejection upon Yourself. Thank You that Your acceptance now prevails over any rejection I might face. I am not rejected, unwanted, or excluded. And I can serve You without fear. Amen.
