God is with you in this Season of Pain and Rejection

Your life comes with different seasons. There will be moments of happiness and joy, grief and sadness, excitement and opportunities, and more. Although you have sought to be happy, there will be times wherein you need to go through pain and rejection. It comes in various forms, and all of us go through it.

Seasons of pain and rejection never felt comfortable. It feels heavy and tight. It feels as though you don’t want to go through it anymore and keep playing safe because the feeling is something you find hard to handle well. It could drain your energy and make you lose your motivation and courage. However, you need to remember that without those seasons, your life won’t be as meaningful as it is now. Because sometimes, growing and learning come with a price.

You may feel sad and lonely but know that you are never alone in this season. Everything may not make sense yet, and that is okay. It is okay to get mad, complain and be anxious about your situation. Never invalidate your feelings but never stay like that. That is just a season. It will soon pass, and who knows how bright the future will be for you.

You just have to understand that going through it is not to punish you. Instead, it is to teach you something that will prepare you for more extraordinary things God has prepared for you. That’s how favored you are. Because He never wants to hurry you. He knows what you need and is helping you to achieve it. It is just that sometimes, how He would help us comes in the most unexpected forms. But once He makes you go through it, just trust the process and obey Him because everything will soon make sense.

God prepared great things for you. Maybe your current state needs to be worked out so that you’ll receive what He has prepared for you. Perhaps you still have to change your perspective and have a heart that is willing to accept or a mind that is willing to listen and learn. Just know that God knows what you need before anything else. So, despite the fear lurking in you now, dare to stand up and keep trying. Remember that it may feel like you’re losing in that season, but no, you’re not. You are gaining more than what you have lost. You are gaining lessons that can never be paralleled with cost. You are growing and learning. It may seem to feel painful sometimes, but you are progressing. It may not look like it but believe that He is helping you and is with you in that process.

Pain and rejection are just part of your life. It’s just seasons of your life, meaning they shall come and go. However, focus on what God will teach you during those seasons. Because those lessons will help you more than you know. It will help you to build courage, motivation, inspiration, confidence, humility, and more. Just know that He promised something more significant on the other side of the bridge.
