    Mel, I've been away from the site for a while, so I don't know what prompted this post, but I pray that you'll feel God's presence and comfort when you feel that others are rejecting you. The Bible tells us that Jesus was despised and rejected, too; that may not "make it all better" for you, but I hope that it gives you some solace knowing that he has walked where you are now.

    May the next moment be brighter than the present one is for you, my brother.

    The funny thing is, in truth, that very realization, that I might begin to understand and share in Christ's suffering is what gives me joy! To be found worthy of that! Does that make sense?

    And the Joy makes the suffering no less real. I really cannot understand...

    Hey Mel, do I need to "dot someone's eye"? (An expression for a poke in the forehead) I sure hope I don't need to dot my own eye. I would never see myself as one who has the RIGHT to reject anyone. Shame on anyone who does feel that way.

    In His Love, my brother!

    Yes, Mel, I know what you mean by both your comments. It's wonderful to think that we could be counted worthy to suffer for the cause of Christ, but it doesn't make the suffering any more pleasant. I guess that's why the Bible tells us to thank the Lord IN all things; God knows it would be really hard to thank Him FOR all things, but we can find the strength through Christ to thank Him that as we go through the hard stuff, He is with us in it.

    I'd tell you to be blessed, brother, but you're already blessed of God (the Bible says so). So instead, I'll extend to you the wish that your awareness of your blessed state will overcome any sadness, depression, anger or other negative emotion that your circumstances might cause you to feel.

    Hi Mel,
    I read your message, and I feel the hurt,
    because I have been rejected many times
    through life, it don't feel good. I never knew you felt rejected. I always enjoyed your post
    and comments. I didn't comment a lot, because
    I didn't know at times what to say. But I
    always looked to see if your name was on the
    update list.

    As we are the body of Christ, we are to hurt
    when our brother or sister hurts. Also when
    our brother or sister rejoices we are to
    rejoice with them. That is the Love of God,
    and God is Love.......

    Thanks Brother for visiting my blog...
    A blessing!
    May our Lord help us all to show more Love
    to our brothrs and sisters....

    In His Love,
    Lois J.

    Teri, No. I vented. That is weakness, but it is done. Not that you need to worry. It is not you at all. If an 'I' needs dotting, I am sure God will see that it is done because of his Love. Thanks!

    Traci, It is momment by momment. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. I know this state is fleeting. And some of my pain is not even for myself. The way I have to look at it is if it is me they reject, no big deal. If it is something God would say to them through me and that is what is really being rejected, that is more to be hurt by. I am not saying all I say is what God would have me say yet. Certainly, I am not to the point where that is my only concern, or I'd be able to stay quiet and at peace, if still troubled for others. Yes, I too, know that secret. I just have not grasped it to the point that no-one can steal that joy...

    Lois, I am thankful that you are thick skinned enough with what I sometimes say to deal with my typical thick headedness gracefully. You are an inspiration. Even those who reject me can be an inspiration, and that is perhaps the greatest loss for me. Do not feel bad to not always comment. I understand completely that even when you might have a small thing to say, you may think it unimportant and lack the time to do it without sacrificing something that may be truely more important. At least that is the way I think of it for myself.

    It is a better day today. Thanks to all, even those who say nothing and just said a prayer.

    In Christ,

    Mel
