Rejection

It's a part of life. You didn't get picked for the team. You didn't get that job you really wanted. Someone you loved didn't love you back. Rejection can give you a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, it can hurt your feelings, but worse than that, it can make you doubt your worth. I want to tell you today, don't let someone else's rejection of you define who you are. You are more than that. Don't let someone else's rejection of you make you reject yourself. Never, ever sell yourself short because someone else cannot see the gift that you are. I want you to know today that you are loved, you are valuable, you are accepted, you are enough.
Don't let that rejection paralyze you from taking chances; instead, let it spur you forward. Mourn the loss; it's real. But don't allow yourself to remain in that place. All the pain you've gone through, learn from it, but don't live in it. You are loved, you are valuable, you are accepted, you are enough.
Don't repeat the pattern of rejection. Give encouragement freely. What you sow you will reap. Build others up, even if some have tried to tear you down. You are loved, you are valuable, you are accepted, you are enough.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
~Ephesians 1:3-6 KJV 
You are loved. You are valuable. You are accepted. You are enough.
