REJECTION
R ebuffing
E motional wounding J ealousy
E xclusion
C old shoulder
T urndown
I nsecurity
O stracism
N onacceptance
This word, even deconstructed, is filled with the ingredients for painful negative emotions and actions. We humans seem to repeat the use of it today just as we did thousands of years ago. We reject each other for slights and oversights. We are, in turn, rejected by others.
To break this never-ending cycle, we need only to focus on the One who himself was accused by his own as a false Messiah and prophet.
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. (John 1:11)
Despite repeated rejection, Christ nonetheless gave himself as the ultimate sacrifice for us. Let us now during this time redirect all thought to that most exquisite example of perfect love.
