Bible Verse of The Day – 1-12-19

1 Peter 2:4 (NKJV) 4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious…

Being rejected by the people around us can leave scars. This is something we can’t pretend didn’t happen.

The fear of rejection likes to keep its grip on us. And it can surely be strong enough to hold us down, keep us back and on a road of defeat time after time.

The fear of rejection sits quietly within most of us. And it won’t usually rise up until that moment when we need to step out and do the unexpected, take a plunge or do something different that God is impressing on us to do.

When that happens, we won’t do it. We will wrestle within ourselves over the, “what ifs”, until the opportunity passes by. And then we will be disappointed once again for not doing what we knew we should have done.

Why?

Many times it’s because of the fear left in us from the memory of being rejected, being laughed at, picked on and made to look like a fool. Rejection can hurt us and cripple us.

Will we let God take this from us today and begin healing? Until we reach that point where we feel enough is enough, it will continue to control us and stop us in our tracks.

God is speaking to people today that have reached that point. If you are done with feeling like this, it’s time to do something about it.

We are praying with you for deliverance. The grip has to go. Man may have rejected you, but God has not.

Dear Lord, God Almighty,

You have chosen me today to do things, but I have not stepped out or obeyed you because I have been afraid of what might happen to me at the hand of man. I am sorry and I ask for Your forgiveness. Today, I realize I have been held back because of feeling this way and I want Your help to be delivered. I need to heal.

I want to be free from feeling like this way, Lord. Take this fear of rejection from me and deliver me from it. I want to be used by You and not be afraid to make a move because of what man may say or do. Thank you.

In Jesus’ name I ask. Amen.

We love you and we know that God is going to do a mighty work through you. Rest in Him and have a great day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-10-17

Psalm 57:2 (NKJV) 2 I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.

Some of us today are afraid to ask God for anything because we have been rejected in our lives so many times. Life has thrown us some curve balls, so we have accepted that this is just how it is. And now we have grown to live a life expecting to be rejected.

We don’t even bother to pray anymore because of the fear that God will reject our prayers.

We should never equate God with our circumstances or our past. And we should never think that God will cast us away because of our mistakes. We need to take Him at His word and trust Him.

God is a good God! He’s not out to hurt us or cause harm to us, but to do good for us. He will not reject us, but listen to us with open ears of compassion, grace and mercy. He wants us to know that He is here for us and that no matter what others have done to us, He is not like them.

1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV) 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

If there is something you or someone you know needs today, go to God through His precious Son, Jesus Christ, and ask of Him. He will hear our cry.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-13

(Mark 6:4 NKJV)  But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

Despite being the son of God, Immanuel (God with us), Jesus wasn’t accepted or honored in his own land.

How many of us can relate to this? How many of us have been rejected or ridiculed by our own families because we are believers?

Well, we say to you today “don’t take it to heart!” Don’t let what your family members think of you discourage you or turn you away from God.

Some of us get ridiculed because we are believers. Even worse, others have had family members turn their backs on them. You’re not alone. Sadly, this happens more often than most of us realize.

So what are we to do? We are to love them. We are to pray for them.

But we are not to chase them or preach at them. If they choose to turn their backs on us, we need to let them know that we love them and then go on with our lives, praying for God to soften their hearts and draw them to Him.

And we need to forgive them. It’s ok to be angry that this has happened, but we cannot hold bitterness toward them. We need to release them to God and let Him work it out.

If you are going through this, give it to God. Let Him take care of the problem. It’s not ours to carry or to fix.

He’s much better at fixing things than we can ever be!
