April reflections – Rejected by Men accepted by God

“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed Him not” Isaiah 53:3 NIV

Reject: “A reject is a product that cannot be used, because there is something wrong with it” [Collins Dictionary].  Have you ever suffered rejection?  Do you feel like a reject?  You don’t fit in with the clique at church?  Your parent/s say you were unplanned, bottom line unwanted.  Your work colleagues despise you, you are left on the shelf, suffered the betrayal and rejection of a spouse or a close friend?  When we are rejected by men then God will take us up and wrap us in His loving arms.  If you have ever suffered rejection then you will know and appreciate the love of God, its rich, pure, measureless and strong.
