Matthew 10:14
Jesus gave instructions to His disciples regarding how to handle rejection. He told them to "shake it off." Basically, He was saying, "Don't let it bother you. Don't let it keep you from doing what I have called you to do." Jesus was despised and rejected, and yet He never seemed to let it bother Him. I am sure He felt pain just as you and I do when we experience rejection, but He did not let it prevent Him from fulfilling His purpose. Jesus told His disciples not to be concerned about rejection because, in reality, people who rejected them were really rejecting Jesus. Why should you concern yourself with the opinions of people? You cannot control what they think, so leave them and their opinions in God's hands and focus on doing God's will.
Good evening and have a wonderful weekend all.
