How do you handle rejection?
- Do you do everything you can to avoid rejection?
- Do you reframe the situation when you’re rejected?
- Do you obsess and over-analyze when you’ve been rejected?
Today’s Verse: Isaiah 53:3 (ESV)
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”
When you’re feeling rejected:
- Moderate on social media
- Reach out to others
- Take stock of what you do have (use the All Done! Calendar)
- Invest in your real life friends
- Run to the only One who can sustain you—Jesus.
