They are not rejecting you. They are rejecting God.

"They are not rejecting you. They are rejecting God." These words were told by my sister and were drilled into me. So to encourage my fellow brothers and sisters-in-Christ who are busy reaching out and constantly rejected by friends, let's put these few words into us. "They are not rejecting you. They are rejecting God."

Sometimes or rather most of the times, we feel that we are being rejected by our friends when they decline our invitation to come to church. Well, it's a lie from the devil because Matthew 5:11 says, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." But God continues in verse 12 saying, "Rejoice and be gald, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." So fellow brothers and sisters-in-Christ, always rejoice even when your friends reject your invitation to come to chruch for they are rejecting God, not you, and God will honour what you are doing because you are obeying His command and that is to bring people to Christ. For Deuteronomy 28:12 says, "The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on y our land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none." And when we obey our Almighty God's commands, our treasures are already being stored up in heaven for us.

Amen! :)
