“Out of our greatest rejection comes our greatest direction.”

~ Joel Osteen

            The quote mentioned above portrays my life. Rejections are our greatest drawback in life. But don’t let your rejection drag you down. Make it your turning point to start over for becoming a better you.

            Too often, when we suffer some kind of rejection or disappointment, we get so discouraged that we settle right where we are. “I wasn’t enough,” we say. Or “I thought I could make it, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be.” Or “I thought I could win, but I tried and failed. Maybe I wasn’t smart at all.”

            When disappointment or rejection knocks you down, get back up and go again. We give up too easily on our dreams. We need to understand that just as God supernaturally opens doors, sometimes God supernaturally closes doors. And when God closes a door, it’s always because He has something better in store. So just because you’ve come to an end, that’s not the time to give up. Find a different route and keep moving forward.

            As Osteen said, “Often out of our greatest rejection comes our greatest direction.” When you come to a closed door, or something doesn’t work out in your life, instead of seeing that as the end, regard that God is pushing you into a better direction. Yes, sometimes it’s uncomfortable, sometimes we may not like it. But we cannot make the mistake of just sitting back and settling where we are.

            Start fighting with the everyday battles of life. Yes, we maybe failed again. But think of it as the window for the greater opportunity that will arise. God will always be at our side that the word worry will never exist.
