Tracing God’s Hand of Faithfulness when the Wound of Rejection Rears its Ugly Head.

Today, several meetings fell through.  I was ready for those meetings.  I had lost sleep over those meetings.  I was PREPARED!!!

So, when I received notification that they were not going to happen, I felt discouraged.

And it is raining today.

And cold.

And I had planned to be REALLY productive for Jesus today – encircling others with His love, showing them Who He is through the presentation I had prepared. 

And I felt rejected. 

It is not just about these canceled meetings.  It is about the MANY times I have put my heart on the line and it has not been treated the way I want it to be.

So, I went to my couch.  And I opened my Bible and read the MANY promises and encouragement that I have highlighted in His Word.

And then I took out my journal and began to trace the hand of His faithfulness through my life…

• The 5-month job that paid for the following year
• The friend I met in church 30 years ago because I was brave and who is still a vital part of my life
• The fact that surgery happened quickly and I healed well.
• That my siblings had surgery and are healthy
• That new information about diabetes gives me options
• That I am well-loved
• That I have a home…

The list goes on and on – pages of His faithfulness.  Pages of anti-rejection moments. 

Pages of His love. 

Where do you see His hand of faithfulness in your life?
