Rejection

 Rejection can be an extremely devastating event for anyone.  In fact, at some period   in our life we have experienced rejection. Whether it be  from the cool lunch table, our favorite sport team, the debate team, family or from a person you once had a crush on.

Unfortunately, some people never come back from being rejected and some others use it as a path to find where they truly belong.

 According to Google search dictionary,  Rejection can be defined as "a dismissal of proposal." Meaning someone dismissing an attempt you are trying to make with another person or groups of people.

We were not created to be rejected, we were created to be loved and protected from out mother's womb. From the moment we were born we were nurtured and so we will always want to feel that way because it's a natural inclination from God. 

I've had my fair share of rejection.  The first time I was rejected I didn't know what it was. All I know it was painful as hell! Even if it was from my primary school play mates on the playground lol

Putting all jokes aside, rejection hurts and it could cut real deep to a point of no return. We are not responsible for it and it's not fair, but it happens.

So you may ask why do I get rejected? For many years I've searched for this answer. I'm not promising I have a clear cut answer but I may be able to help. We are not everyone's favorite person. We do not fit into everybody's fan fair. We may want to feel a sense of belonging to a particular group or to an individual for what ever reason, but they just don't want us there and we have to accept it.

Rejection may seem like a bad thing at first but actually it's not. It was created so we can find our true self, our true purpose. We cannot avoid being rejected and nothing is wrong with you if you are rejected, it simple means that you have to find where you really belong.

I can't tell you the amount of times I've layed down in a 'pool of tears' trying to wonder why I was rejected but later on I knew exactly why.

 You may be saying "  if I'm rejected of a proposal this means I'm not loved." Please, please don't get the wrong idea. Rejection  of a proposal has nothing to do with you. It does not mean you are not loved. You can be rejected of a proposal from anyone who claims to love you. It is your proposal they don't want not you.

Now  being rejected from a lover or of that sort is a whole different ball game. I've felt this way before. When I was 24, I came out of my comfort zone and told a guy I liked him and wanted to know if we could go to the next level and guess what? He didnt accept that proposal. Of course I was down and out. Especially that I did  it out of something I wasn't accostum to. It was  extremely painful at the time. However.... he wasn't the right guy for me.

 Case and point, there's  a man who was severely rejected from many people and today he is alive and live in our hearts. Inspite of being rejected he came to accomplish a mission. And his name is Jesus Christ.

Rejection may be hard to accept but sometimes it's necessary.  So the next time you feel rejected or you really are rejected. Ask the question. 5, 10, 15 years down the line will it really matter? Do I really belong here?  And what purpose am I serving?
