Well today was a very good one. School was great, choir last night was fun, and tonight we have a small concert at Wash U. But as promised here is some of the rest of what I was reading yesterday for encouragement. (Btw, I wouldn’t necessarily say I was feeling rejected however, I liked the verses).
What to do when you feel rejected:
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those whose spirits have been crushed. Psalm 34:18
Depend on the Lord; trust him, and he will take care of you. Then your goodness will shine like the sun, and your fairness like the noonday sun. Wait and trust the Lord. Don’t be upset when others get rich or when someone else’s plans succeed. Psalm 37:5-7
God has chosen you and made you his holy people. He loves you. So always do these things: show mercy to others, be kind, humble, gentle, and patient. Get along with each other, and forgive each other. If someone does wrong to you, forgive that person because the Lord forgave you. Do all these things; but most important, love each other. Love is what holds you all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14
What to do when you are in doubt about yourself:
So don’t worry, because I am with you. Don’t be afraid because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you. Isaiah 41:10
Trust the Lord with all your heart, and don’t depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in all you do, and he will give you success. Proverbs 3:5-6
You are God’s children whom he loves, so try to be like him. Life a life of love just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us as sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God. But there must be no sexual sin among you, or any kind of evil or greed. Those things are not right for God’s holy people. Also, there must be no evil talk among you, and you must not speak foolishly or tell evil jokes. These things are not right for you. Instead, you should be giving thanks to God. Ephesians 5:1-4
What to do when you are unhappy:
God once said, “Let the light shine out of the darkness!” This is the same God who made his light shine in our hearts by letting us know the glory of God that is in the face of Christ. We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hoe of living. We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:6, 8-9
I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace while you trust in him. Then your hope will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
