Overcoming Rejection
Q: My parents often tease me that I was, “an accident when their contraceptive failed”, so I’ve never really felt like I should have been born at all. It makes me depressed at times, so I was wondering how a Christian deals with this situation. Emily
A: Thank you Emily, I have very good news for you: Your parents are flat-wrong, and obviously don’t know the Living God: The LORD Jesus Christ, because they think and speak as the world does, Not as God Thinks.
Be assured, you were no accident, whatever the circumstances of your conception and development.
Almighty God created you for Himself in your Mother’s womb. Job 31:15, Ecc. 11:5, Isaiah 44:2-3 KJV;
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
He makes no mistakes, Everything God Does is Perfect.
You are God’s idea, He loves you just as you are, and wants you to Walk with Him in Love Forever.
Does that thought appeal to you?
It should because it is the absolute truth, and precisely what you were made for.
The Holy Bible teaches that before we were, God had us in mind; before you were conceived, He knew you, and planned that you be One with Him in Christ Jesus.
Just as He foreknew Jeremiah the Prophet. Jeremiah 1:4-5 KJV;
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
He created Jeremiah to prophesy to the Jews: He made you to become His disciple, and then share Him with the world, Mark 16:15-16 KJV;
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
If you don’t comprehend such ideas, don’t be dismayed, keep reading, and ask the LORD to show you what I’m talking about through John’s Gospel in The Holy Bible, which in English is the King James Version 1769.
Sold Out By Our Ancestors
Mankind’s problems began when our first parents, Adam and Eve doubted God’s words, and ate what He had forbidden. Genesis 2:16-17 KJV;
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Consequently, the first man and wife lost their right-standing with God, and were driven from His Presence because God cannot fellowship with sinful people. (Gen. 3:23-24)
Sin, spiritual and physical death, disease and pain reign on Earth because our enemy, Satan, is now the god of this world in place of Adam and Eve. 2 Cor. 4:3-5 KJV;
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
That is why humanity is in such dire straits; condemned, facing judgment, and eternal Hell when we leave this life.
Hope for The Hopeless
But God is not only; Sovereign, Holy, Just, and Righteous, He’s also Merciful Perfect Love.
In His mercy He came Himself in The LORD Jesus Christ, born as a God-Man on Earth, but Christ’s Father is God, not Carpenter Joseph, as was supposed (See Luke 3:23 KJV).
Help for the Helpless
Jesus of Nazareth lived the only perfect life ever lived on Earth, obeying Father God always, never doubting or disobeying God’s words. Heb. 4:14-16 KJV;
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
He came to redeem sinful man from our predicament and re-connect us with His Father as orginally intended. 2 Cor. 5:19-21 KJV;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Your Creator in The Flesh
He also came to show man what God is really like, that He’s; love, mercy, grace and power.
Take time to read the Gospel of John asking The LORD Jesus to reveal Himself to you, and He will. Just as He did to me.
There you’ll see that Christ laid down His sinless life, was crucified, buried, and raised to life on the third day, to make a covenant with every person willing to repent of unbelief and trust in Him. Jn. 3:16-18 KJV;
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Once a sinner repents and believes, Father God puts His Holy Spirit in their heart, they know Christ is alive in them, and will never forsake them. He will give you His divine life to lead and empower you to walk as Jesus walked.
Your Heavenly Father Wants You
Emily, God is inviting you to believe this simple message, and become His child, Born of God, by His Spirit.
He will make you a brand new creature inside, with new desires, and new power to do what is right in God’s sight always.
You will know you are loved, precious, and useful to God.
Then you too can say, as a Born Again Believer, God never makes a mistake: He never has and never will.
I am the product of Almighty God, I am NOT an accident, my Creator knew me before I was conceived and born, and He values me as I am, He needs me as His partner in love, healing, lifting, and helping hurting humanity.
My parents may reject me, but my Creator wants and needs me, He paid for me by giving His Only Begotten Son to redeem me from hopelessness, despair, loneliness, sickness and sin.
It matters not if the whole world hates me, because I am accepted by my Heavenly Father, safe and secure in His beloved family forever.
He has redeemed me from Satan’s realm, and has brought me into the Kingdom of God’s Eternal love. I am happy, and content to be seated in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus at my Father’s right Hand following His Spirit and Living Word.
