Overcoming Rejection

Am I doing so with a godly spirit and in the right way?

“We Know Him!”

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Reading:

“Is not this the carpenter’s son?” (Matthew 13:55).

Should I move “there” because I think I will be more appreciated and my gifts more recognized?

Do I appreciate our local “prophets” less than the visiting ones?

Do I reject a local leader just because I know him so well as “one of us”?

Might my “unbelief” in him affect the effectiveness of a leader in my home congregation?

Am I handling personal rejection in a godly manner?

What is a godly way to dealing with such rejection?

from Matthew 13:57

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Reading:

Do I value anything above perfection and above entering into eternal life?

Have I deluded myself into thinking I love my neighbor as myself?

Do I think Jesus required too much of the young man?

Am I glad Jesus doesn’t say the same thing to me?

Or does He?

Since it impedes entering into the kingdom of heaven, why get more stuff?

Do I doubt my reward for having forsaken all to follow Jesus?

What’s the solution to unbelief in all this?

“Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?” (Matthew 19:27).

from Matthew 19:27
