Where Love Meets Rejection: Finding Confidence in Christ
Have you ever been met with rejection?
Maybe it was someone close — someone you deeply loved and hoped to have unity with. Maybe it was a parent, a friend, a sibling, a partner. Whether the wound came from silence, misunderstanding, betrayal, or abandonment, rejection carries a unique sting that seems to cut to the core of our worth.
At EmpowerHer Coaching Ministry, we often hear from women navigating the pain of rejection — and how it shakes their confidence. But here's what we want you to know: how you respond to rejection is not rooted in who rejected you — it’s rooted in who you are in Christ.
Let’s look at Jesus.
He was the most rejected person in history. He was rejected by His own people.
By His friends. By those He came to serve and save. And yet, He didn’t shut down. He didn’t harden His heart. He didn’t become bitter or vengeful. He chose love.
The rejection He experienced said far more about the hearts of those rejecting Him than it did about who He was. And the same is true for us.
When we allow Christ to be the source of our identity, rejection loses its power to define us. We stop internalizing someone else’s brokenness as our burden. And we begin to understand: love is the shield that protects our hearts from the wounds of rejection.

So, know this, sister:
You don’t have to carry the weight of rejection alone. You’re not unseen. You’re not unloved. In Christ, you are fully known, deeply loved, and eternally secure.
When you're faced with rejection, choose to respond with love — because Christ did.
Rejection is less about your worth and more about the condition of the hearts around you. And it’s where love meets rejection that the fullness of confidence in Christ is made complete in you.
You don’t have to carry the weight of rejection alone. You’re not unseen. You’re not unloved. In Christ, you are fully known, deeply loved, and eternally secure.
Reflection Question:
Who are you being called to love like Christ — even in the face of rejection?

Let’s Pray Together:
Lord, when I’m met with rejection, help me respond like You. Anchor me in Your love. Help me walk in confidence, not because I’m accepted by others, but because I’m accepted by You. Fill me with grace, guard my heart, and teach me to love like You. Amen.
You are empowered. You are chosen. You are His.
Keep rising in grace,
