Fear Tricks Us Into Living A Boring Life

He was despised and rejected--a Man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we

did not care. (Isaiah 53:3)

Rejection is painful, and creates a void that longs to be filled. Sometimes we fill this space with anger or self pity. I don't know what your story is, but Jesus understands. He was betrayed by a friend, denied by another. And when the soldiers came to arrest Him, He was totally abandoned by everyone close to Him, beaten, spat at, mocked, scourged and then crucified with no one to give Him a word of comfort.

He knows exactly how you feel. He has been through it.

In Luke 14:25 we know that Jesus was ‘rejected by the people of His day.’ Isaiah 53:3 tells us that, “He was despised and rejected by men.” John writes in chapter 1:11 of his gospel, “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.”

You see, He understands exactly how you feel. He has been through it. If you go to Him, He will comfort you, embrace you and take away the pain of rejection. He says to you, " I love you with an everlasting love. Remember Jesus hasn't rejected you!

Yeah, that's true.

Annabeth's fatal flaw making her think she could save them, and almost getting her killed, and Percy's fatal flaw actually saving them because the fact that she was in danger shielded him from everything else? It turns out that her fatal flaw ultimately saved him in the end, too. They saved each other!
