Don’t waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.”– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is not about rejection; it is about rejoicing. Remember that no one can reject you except yourself. The only person who can reject you is you. Do not reject your life. Because God has a lot in store for you. Do not live in rejection. Instead of beating yourself up for what went wrong, why not celebrate what you have done well? Why not focus on what you have? Many people focus on what they don’t have. They focus on what is not going well for them. That is a waste of precious time. Instead, celebrate your life. Believe in yourself. Believe that everything is going to be okay. Be hopeful that life is going to change in your favor. Believe that God is going to change your life. Believe that you are not going to be where you are next year. Believe that your tomorrow is going to be better than your today.

Rejoice with those who are doing well. Don’t envy them. Celebrate them. When you celebrate other people, God will celebrate you. God will give you more to celebrate. God will show you where to go. For that reason, no matter what you are going through right now, do not give up. As Winston Churchill famously said, “Never, never, never, never give up.” Do not give up on your dreams. Even if you plan to give up, make sure you replace it with something better. Don’t just quit and sit at home. That is a failing strategy. It is not a winning one.

But you can change that. You redirect your life. You can reinvent your life. To do that, no matter what you are going through, you must believe you can change your life. No matter what you face in your life, if you believe in yourself, if don’t believe in rejection, you can get up again. Do you believe in yourself?

God Is Your Helper

“So we may boldly say; The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”- Hebrew 13:6 (NKJV)

Have faith in your God. He is capable of changing your life. He is capable of lifting you up. He is capable of putting you in a place you never imagined. Just let Him know what your problems are. He will help you fix them. Believe in Him.

No man can help you. Only God can help you. When you are in trouble, run to God. When you are happy, give thanks to God.

You can’t fight your battles by yourself. You need God to turn your life around. You need God to turn darkness into light. Because God is light. When light comes, darkness has no chance. When God comes, your problems will disappear. If you are not happy with yourself, give thanks to God. If you are not happy with your job, thank God for giving you that job. If you are not happy with where you are right now, ask God to take you to the next level.

God is your helper. Don’t fear. God is in control of your life. If you can pray with your eyes on God, God will fight your battles for you. He will change your life forever. But you must listen to Him. Are you listening to God?
