Some of our deepest hurts come from being rejected by others. This morning I read "Do everything they say to you," the Lord replied, "for they are rejecting me, not you." (1 Samuel 8:7) I then asked God to show me the area's I reject Him in... He spun it and said this...
"they" rejected Me, not you... My best plan for them with you in it, they rejected, not you."
This changes many things for me... In Sam. 7:3 Samuel tells the people of Israel to rid themselves of any false gods, I asked God what things I have put in place of Him. God shows me, then gives me my out by telling me this no longer needs to be a struggle because "they rejected ME (being God) not you (being me)"
We put things in place to protect ourselves from being hurt when quite often the hurt belongs to God; Is between God and the offender. It was never ours to carry or to avoid. Take a good hard look at some of your protective layers, and ask God which ones need to be placed back on Him. Things have less to do with us than we would like to believe, even the bad things. Thank you Father for redeeming all things in your time!
