Getting Past Rejection

Well, thought I was finished with the last post just published...guess not.

Need to get out the rejection I feel. I have always felt rejection. From my mother, to the friends I have today. I believe the rejection I am feeling from friends is a lie. I have been so heavy in rejection that the least little thing can be made to feel like it all over again. I know my new friends since I have moved away from my abusive marriage, are true to me. They would not reject me. At least not my true friends. My true friends rally for me and share the joys, the pains, everything. They do not turn their back on me and go talk behind my back. They are there for me when I am up, down, or sideways. I can get sideways quite frequently. Something I am working on! This is between up and down. Those days when it could go either way, but doesn't shift totally one way or the other - hence, sideways.

Rejection is a huge battle for me and is shoved at me from the enemy daily. The smallest thing can trigger this in me. A look, a word, almost anything. I am beginning to realize this and am going to work really hard to battle it. I know not everyone is going to accept me. That is a fact of life. But those who stick with me in thick or thin, those are the ones who do accept me for who I am and will stand by me in my troubles. When I fall down, those are the ones who will be there to pick me up. My friends in my "Lioness Arising" course. My friends I have met since my abusive marriage ended. The tried and true. The ones who are in it with me for the long haul. Those are the ones who are not rejecting me.

So, rejection GO! You are not welcome here. LEAVE and DO NOT COME BACK! When I feel you coming, I am going to stand up against you. In Jesus' name. Amen.

My Father in Heaven will never reject me. He promised me that. Even when others do reject me as there will still be those who will. Let's be real. The TRUTH is that it does not mean that I have to accept it. I can stand up, dust myself off, and calmly walk away from it without it injuring me.

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” (NIV)

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you." (MSG)


My loving Father, I love you and will fight to stay in your loving embrace.
