The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing and it is wonderful to see. – Psalm 118:22-23 (NLT)
GOD TRANSFORMS THE REJECTED
A poem and essay by ILMA
When others reject you, rejoice and be glad
Christ was also cast off but he continued to abide
Jesus came for those who are broken hearted and rejected
Exult for he will ensure that you are healed and protected.
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone
This is the Lord’s doing and it is wonderful to see these transformation
God can do anything to build up those who are suffering rejection
Thank him each time you go through the same discrimination.
Rejection was the theme of my life for almost over five decades. I had been rejected during my early years and somehow the enemy infiltrated my former life and generated many lies about rejection. I saw through the filter of the world’s system and it made me an advocate for the oppressed and those without a voice. I did it because it made me have control over my powerlessness when I was rejected.
The bible tells us that Jesus himself was rejected but God made him the cornerstone and the foundation of his church. He transformed the rejected into the source of strength for all to see.
PRAYER
Lord, let me look up to you when rejected.
REFLECTION
How do you deal with rejection?
