The Right Reaction to Rejectionनमुना

The Way to React to Rejection

It may sound harsh in theory, but God wants us to be willing to forgive others because He understands what harboring hurt and offense can do to us.

Not only that, the Lord was also there when His son was brutally murdered by the people He chose to form a covenant with. He listened and watched as God the Son asked Him not to hold their treacherous actions against them.

The Lord knows if Jesus –in his human state– could forgive people who rejected, tortured and mutilated Him for no reason, we in our human capacity, can also do the same for those who have wronged us.

I know you’re probably thinking: You don’t understand what they have done to me, they don’t deserve to be forgiven for all the hurt they’ve caused me, for all the rejection I've experienced because of them...

And guess what? You may be right. If you’re having reservations at the thought of forgiving someone who has rejected, abused, betrayed or abandoned you in the past, those feelings are completely normal.

Forgiving is definitely easier said than done, but can I let you in on a little secret? Forgiving frees you more than it lets your offender off the hook. This is because refusing to do so is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die. The choice is yours.
