Rejection--Part of God's plan?

Monday - 2/5 - Read John 1:1-14

Yesterday in church we talked about rejection. As we partook of communion together we tried to focus on how Jesus was constantly rejected. All of us, to some degree or another have faced rejection. List your three most difficult rejections you've experienced.

How did you react to them? Did something positive eventually come out of those experiences now that you look back on them?

Are you still experiencing the effects of those rejections?

Why is Jesus uniquely qualified to help you through the pain of rejection?

Have you invited Jesus into the midst of that pain?

Would you be willing to consider the rejection you've experienced as part of God's 'Big Picture' for your life, in other words, part of God's plan for using your life for His purposes?

If not, would you be willing to tell God right now that you accept that rejection as something from Him and trust Him to use it in your life to honor His name?

Read Malachi 2:10-16 in preparation for next Sunday.
