Rejection feeling (part two)

We continue the articles of rejection feeling and I will start this article with saying this: if God the Father did not spare His only Son Jesus who died on the cross to save us from eternal hell, do you think after all that I can not run to into His bosom, I do not think. Do you think He needs someone to soften His heart towards us? I tell you His heart is full of eternal love for us.

There is no need to repeat words that are contrary to the word of God such as I am unworthy. This is true that there are no one worthy of forgiveness of sins for the wages of sin is death. But by the blood of Jesus our sins are forgiven if we offer a true repentance from the heart and believe that He died on the cross, carried our sins and gave us His life.

Please do not say there are better people than myself and they will speak on my behave to God because they pleased Him and I do not. That is true that there are people more righteous than you, but do you know why? Because they read the promises and they believed them and honor them. They believed that Jesus died for their sake and forgave their sins and gave them sanctification. Why do not you take them as example? Enough doubting in the greatness of the blood of Jesus.

Beloved, Jesus Himself gave this promise “and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” {Joh6:37} “If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.” {Ps66:18} our prayer will not be answered if we regard any iniquity in our heart. May be this is the answer to many question of why God does not answer our prayers. If this is true, try to have a quite time with God and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and ask the heavenly Father in Jesus’ name so God can show you the thing that blocks the voice of God in your life. Have faith that God will hear and answer you “ And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” {Jer29:13}

Causes of rejection and the healing of Jesus for these causes:

financial: many think that because of their low financial status, people will reject them. This is may be true in the past generation, but this is not true these days. I know some who suffered financially in the past but they worked hard to establish themselves. They worked hard in their study and in their work and they succeeded in life and now they are very much respected by everyone. And also I know of some who were financially better off than many when they were young, they were used to be comfortable, they did not work hard in their study and at work, you can say they are now unsuccessful.

Beloved: the person has to work hard at one time of his life. He either work hard in the begging of his life or in the middle or in the end. We have to obey the commandment to please God. You will not know the commandment unless you read it in the Bible. That is why I always advice that you should read the Bible daily as well as studying it. Some may ask how can I study the Bible? Read the New Testament before you read the Old Testament and read from the gospel of  John then go to Luke and Mark and Mathew then go from acts to revelations.

Physical disability: unfortunately some people evaluate the person with their eyes, with what they see, they do not look at the inward person for values and morals and a true knowledge. If you are one of those who value the person on his appearance, I hope you take a moment of truth with yourself and ask: if you have hurt someone with physical disability ? if you said to someone a word to remind him with his disability? If you said something knowingly or unknowingly and hurt a child of God or anyone, please sit alone with the Holy Spirit and if you can correct the wrong that you caused, please do so for the sake of your peace and the peace of the person you hurt.

How can I correct the wrong I did? 

If you hurt someone with words, please apologize with words. If you have ignored a person at a time, please try to respect him when you see him again. Try to cancel the wrong you have done with the right thing and in the same way.

But if your feeling of rejection has no grounds but it is only your feeling of your disadvantage, I want you to see yourself through the eyes of God “But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."” {1Sa16:7} dear ones do not focus on the disability you have but search your heart first because God sees your heart if it is pure and full of the Holy Spirit or not. He sees your heart if its thoughts are heavenly or earthly.

If the person sees him or her ugly: beloved the word of God says “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” {Eph 2:10}we are his workmanship. Did God ever made something ugly? It is impossible. Some may ask why I see myself ugly? I will tell this story and it happened to me:

My husband and I knew an American man, he was very angry person. We were like older brother and sister to him and I saw him as very ugly person. And one day he was very happy and this is the only time I saw him very calm and not angry. I looked at him and noticed that he was not ugly like the other times. I could not stop thinking why he did not look ugly at this time. What changed his feature. Believe me his features were different. I could not find an answer to my question until I arrived home. I knew the answer. He was happy and I never saw him happy before but rather he was always angry, that is why his feature changed from an ugly person to a nice looking gentleman.

If you make this observation yourself, you will notice that God’s children look like angels, the children who have true relationship with Jesus Christ.

Remember we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.

Some people raised up in a family that differentiate between boys and girls

This is very common in the Arabic family that they differentiate between the boys and the girls. They prefer the baby to be a boy than a girl. We see the wife suffer greatly from her in-laws because her babies are girls and not boys. Even after the research showed that the deciding factor is the sperms of the husband and not the egg that comes from the  wife. After this finding the wife still suffers from the in-laws by harsh words such a: all her babies are girls, he should have married another one, and more and more of these harsh words.

I stop here and say to the parent: please take care of boys and girls in equality and fairness. There are no differences between boys and girls in the sight of God. How many times I have heard how the mother prayed and prayed that God will give a boy since all her children are girls, and they say that in front of her daughters. I normally stop the conversation and say let us thank God for the girls and the boys.

Few years ago I have seen a program about the Indian families and how when the wife become pregnant, the husband insist that the wife has ultrasound done so he will know if she is pregnant with a boy or a girl. If she is pregnant with a boy she will keep him, and if she is pregnant with a girl she will abort her. Husband has no desire to have girls. The reporter was commenting that this will cause a disturbance of the population where there will be many men and no girls to marry them. This is what exactly happened. Few months ago I was watching the TV and I saw documentary about India and they were talking about marriage in India and how there are no girls to marry and mentioned how in the past men made their wives abort the unborn girls. I was really surprised because I do not watch much TV and I would not say it was pure coincidence to watch two programs about the same topics few years apart.

God created Adam and Eve and not Adam and Andrew and not Adam and Anthony. We have to have male and female for the family to form. Many families wish to have a girl and many wish to have a boy. Believe me if we accept what our Lord Jesus Christ gave us we will be very happy.

Persons raised up in a family differentiate between members of the family

This is another big problem and that is to differentiate between the older son and the younger one. One of the signs that the parents prefer the older son is they buy new cloths for the older son and the younger son wear his older brother’s cloth. So the younger son never has new cloth. The parent’s argument is his older brother clothes still in a good condition so there are no need to buy new cloth for the younger one. This causes severe wounds to the younger one. The financial statues of the family could be the reasons. I do advise the family to buy cheaper cloths for both children so both of them can wear new cloths. If parents knew the devastating effects they cause on the younger one by doing so, they will think a hundred times before they do that. Believe me I do not speak hypothetically but I speak the truth I hear in the consoling session. If parents hear what I hear they will be changed, that is why I write these articles so people will understand the damage they cause to others.

Certain incidence caused the person to feel rejected

I wish every person treat everyone with cautious. Believe me the kind word will not cost us more than the harsh word. The appropriate action will not cost us more than the inappropriate action. Love is much easier than hate. Thanksgiving and appreciation has much more fruit than neglect.

I have known many nationality and I found that the Egyptians hurt many with their harsh words without even noticing and the excuse is they have a sense of humor. Unfortunately some actually mean what they say. I will give example to that:

I have a friend whom I did not see for many years. He became a servant in the church, when he saw me he made this comments: are you still alive? His comment disgusted me because he is now in a high spiritual level. I answered him : I am still alive just as you are alive. If I was a person suffering from rejection, his comment would have made me in deep stress. But I answered him in a way that made him feel that the comment was totally off the mark. I hope we think carefully of the consequences for what we say. At the same time I encourage everyone if he hears someone making a comments out of line to answer in a respectful manner like I did at the same time expresses how they feel towards the comment which was out of line. 

Warning to the family: beloved, every behavior comes out from every member of the family has an effect on the emotion of the child. It could have a negative or positive consequence that is why I advise all members of the family to try to correct the wrong they cause to the children. Here are some advises :

1- please watch how the children behave with their toys, doll or car. If you watch the girl plays harshly with her doll and beats her up, rest assured that she sees her parents do that with her. The girl always behave with the doll in the same manner her parents do with her. But if she behave with the doll in a nice way and kiss her, you can be sure that this is the way her parents behave with her. From this behavior the parents understand  how the child see them.

2- try to listen carefully to what the child says to you. The child does not know how to lie unless he is under threat that if he says something wrong you will not like, you will beat him for it. In this he will say I love you and his heart is full of fear from that you will beat him. If he said you love my older brother more than you love me. You can be sure that his view of you is true. If you ignore his conversation with you and you did not correct that by words such as I love you as much as I love your brother and try to prove it to him by giving him attention and love, he will naturally feel rejected. Please listen to your children

3- Do not use abusive words such as you talk too much, you make me sick, you are stupid etc.

Beloved, after this discussion about rejection, the parents should be wise when they deal with their children. The parents will see wonderful results if they behave wisely with their children.
