I have had my share of rejection. There have been moments in my life when I thought I really wanted something only to be rejected again and again. If you've never faced rejection, it is coming. If you have faced rejection, you know that it isn't about how many times you are rejected, it's about how many times you try and try again.
Often, though, the toughest rejections are the ones from GOD. It seems that I have it all figured out; I know what needs to happen. Then, what I "KNOW" should happen doesn't. Ever happen to you? You get frustrated? Feel like GOD has rejected your plan?
Today's word is a simple quote that I came across that clarifies this exact scenario: "GOD'S "No" is not a rejection. It's a redirection."
When GOD doesn't give us what we KNOW is best, it's because He KNOWS He has something better in store. It is hard to accept. It is difficult to deal with. It is painful to go through. It is heartbreaking. In the end, though, we will find that it is absolutely for the best.
There will be times when we find ourselves wanting something so bad, that is so "good" for us, that there is no way GOD will turn us down, just to see it not happen. It is in these moments that we have to see GOD working. We have to realize that His "NO" is not a rejection. It's a redirection.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
