What direction is God working in your rejection? Inviting you to draw closer to himself.

Romans 8:35-39; 1 John 3:2

​Jesus was able to persevere through rejection because he knew who he was and to whom he belonged. He was the son of God, the Messiah. He and the Father were one. His identity was secure. We have the same security. Our identity is not found in those around us, no matter how much we are accepted or rejected, but in our place as a child of God, in our unity with Christ. No matter what type of rejection we experience it can never take away our identity in Christ. We are sons and daughters of God! No matter how painful the rejection we experience is, it can never separate us from the love of Christ. As Paul reminds us in Romans 8, NOTHING can ever separate us from the love of Christ!

Questions for further thought:
1. What does it mean to have your identity in God alone?
2. Where are you placing your identity outside of God?

​Challenge:  Write out Romans 8:35-39 and place it somewhere that you will see it every day. Read it out loud to yourself daily.
