18If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. John 15:18 (NIV)

Don't be surprised brothers and sisters in Christ if you have been rejected by this world! Our Savior was rejected by this world while He was saving all of humanity.

Psalm 27:10 reminds us that even our family may reject us. Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.

Have you experienced rejection recently from your family, friends, or co-workers?

Ask God to hold you close as you face whatever rejection, hate, or abandonment you have experienced.

Or maybe you are having fear of rejection which is holding you back from boldly proclaiming your salvation. We do not need to fear rejection because we have full acceptance from God through the blood of Christ!

If we try to live for the approval of others, we will be defeated by their inevitable rejection. But, don't worry we have immeasurable love, grace, and hope in our Savior we only need His approval.

Romans 15:7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Accept others even when they reject you because you are accepted completely by God!

I pray today you will feel Christ close to you if you are experiencing hurt and rejection. I also pray you will feel strength in the acceptance of Christ to continue to share the gospel and minister to those around you.

We are a chosen vessel of God and it was nothing of our doing, he called us before the foundation of the world. “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” (King James Bible, 1769/2017, Ephesians 1:4). God chose to bless us in Christ Jesus and gave us a heart to believe. “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me” (Isaiah 43:10). We can’t take no credit for God’s work; it is his grace that made us who we are. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). In all that we do, we must remember that God loved us before we were saints. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Roma...

Walking with Jesus I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour in August 2016. When this journey just began, I was not where I needed to be, I was still doing a lot of things that had me being disobedient to God. I didn’t understood much of the bible, I was in a place where I know I needed help, and I felt that going to church would make everything okay right away, I never knew it would have a been a learning process. I was in and out of jobs, I was lonely, unhappy, bitter, confused, a culprit and basically lawless. I was really broken, I needed a strong foundation, a needed love, I needed peace, and I needed to know who I was. At this point of my life, I really wanted to come home. I had no money saved, was living in a house where a shared utilities and bathroom. My Bill’s where paid by the help of family and whatever assignments I would get to do. I was a Certified Nursing Assistant at the time. God knew my heart, he knew I wanted to go home, because it was a desire of...

Jesus the Lord thy God; where would we be without saving grace? Grace is the reason why we are here, God's unmerited favor of love that has no end. Do you believe that God's promises will come true? Do you believe that he loves you? Do you want to know him as you should? Grace is the reason why we have the opportunity to live in God. Lets' rest in this truth; what Jesus did on the cross made us free from the bondage of the flesh. He was crucified in the flesh to justify the sinner through his spirit. (He died in the flesh and rose in the spirit). "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:" (1 Peter 3:18). If you would love to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, pray this prayer. Jesus, I thank you for taking my place on the cross. I believe in the finished works of the cross and I accept you in my heart today as my Lord and Savior.
