There is no denying the sting of rejection. These painful moments can bring up questions about ourselves, others, and maybe even God.

How can we begin to move forward into a place of healing and strength?

We don’t have to ignore the pain, but we do get a chance to defy it. Instead of carrying that rejection with us, Jesus invites us to shake it off (see Matthew 10:14 NIV). We can be honest about the pain you have experienced, and, at the same time, learn to let it go, lift our heads, and keep moving.
