Look for the healing, not the pain – Monica Taylor
“I want to be healthy, Lord”. That’s what I told God on my ride home from church today. No, there’s nothing physically wrong with me. I was talking about being relationally healthy. Rejection is something that I’ve dealt with my whole life. And to have felt slighted by You just made me realize that I needed to make sure I’m healthy in that area: no matter the relationship I’m in.
We had the Author, Mike Moore, of the book Help, My Mind is Under Attack, speak/teach from his book at our church for the month. His final sermon was on rejection. He made the statement that the other person is always going to be the problem if you’re not healthy. He stated that we may feel rejected even though the person may not have meant to reject us or even knew that they were rejecting us.
I had to look at why I thought You rejected me that day. Did you see me before you passed by me to get to her? I know you saw me after I’d already gotten through the door; but my feelings were already hurt by then. Did you intentionally chase her instead of coming to me? Does it even matter anymore?
Either way, I’ve learned and now I must remember to not take everything personally. To base my sense of worth and value on God’s perfect love for me. And always remember that God loves me, He accepts me and He’ll never reject me.
