I appreciate knowing I've shared something to help give a different perspective.<br /><br />Bonnie ~ Before your invitation to write on rejection, I'd been thinking about these things for Holy Week. I may expand on it then. And thank you for the thought-provoking topic.<br /><br />Melissa Rae ~ I think the more we identify with Christ, the more we'll grow to be like Him in all ways.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-50221465168453903812010-03-13T11:51:58.552-05:002010-03-13T11:51:58.552-05:00What a touching post.

You're always calling us to stretch and get straight to the core of things. <br /><br />I esp. appreciated this post in light of Easter coming up. Thank you, Anne for putting so much thought & heart in this.Bonnie Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331275947237285245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-45083633742332168632010-03-13T01:35:05.000-05:002010-03-13T01:35:05.000-05:00"When we reject others and hurt them, we hurt..."When we reject others and hurt them, we hurt Jesus."<br /><br />That's scary. It takes me beyond the emotional aspect of hating rejection and rejecting others, but definitely gives it a level of seriousness beyond emotionality.

May God have mercy on us and give us grace to use such power wisely.<br /><br />Wendy ~ The power of Scripture as a "two-edged sword, piercing ... a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" was exactly what made me fall in love with God's Word 25 yrs ago.<br /><br />Monica ~ That photo was taken in December 2009, after a nearly 20 year wait to do choreographed worship dance with a team. And we will dance together, we will. The wait won't really be so long. (And thanks for that incredible tweet.)<br /><br />Denise ~ He makes our hurts better in making <i>us</i> better.<br /><br />FireFly ~ That's such a powerful chapter, like Romans 8. Go back two more verses: "I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish." When I suffer hurt or rejection, I need only remember the privilege of knowing God. Think of it! God Almighty allows me to <i>know</i> Him, personally and intimately! *sigh* What more could we ask for to sustain us.<br /><br />Patty ~ As incredible as it is to know God, I stand in awe that He would share with us the fellowship of His suffering. We'll readily share our joys. With how many people do we share our griefs? He amazes me, continually, magnificently.<br /><br />Jason ~ Without eyes for the eternal, how would we make it through the temporal?<br /><br />B'ahava / Katy ~ I don't allow myself to watch that movie too often. I don't want it to lose its impact. I want to feel the pain of what my Savior did for me.<br /><br />Gwen ~ Our God is so incredible. How blessed I am to know you and I will spend eternity in His presence. I need nothing more. Truly. I forget sometimes, but I really do need nothing more than that knowledge.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-18392865120348374152010-03-12T21:00:58.827-05:002010-03-12T21:00:58.827-05:00This post, and the pictures, are so beautiful and ...This post, and the pictures, are so beautiful and rich, Anne.
