Rejected: A Poem Inspired by Jesus Christ and His Ultimate Sacrifice

Good Evening Folks,

I wrote this poem some time last year at a lonely and low point in my life I felt like feeling sorry for myself and then it came to me that although we may suffer in this life and face rejection and pain. We do have a Savior that can identifyand relate to our suffering (Hebrews 4:15 says "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") and he faced and still faces rejection each and every day.


Rejected

Have you ever been rejected by your family or friends
Rejected and tossed aside
(By even your closest kin)
Wonderin when will I win
Have you ever felt man, what is the use
and said to yourself I can't take this abuse
Have you ever been rejected, felt neglected and
dejected, and disrespected
been spat upon and ratted on and on and on and on.


Have you ever been lied on, spied on.
Have you ever been falsely accused, misused and utterly bruised
on the inside and out and just wanted to shout...
I can't take no more.
Then you looked for a way out
Perhaps a window or a door.
But then decided you would stay
and make a way out of no way
and pay...
for the stuff that other folks did, that you would take it all on your
shoulders that you would pay the price for their vices and devices of sin.

That you would be that boulder, that
shoulder, that rock, for them to stand upon.
And you'd do it even if most of the folks you did it for are gone,
Have run away, have been lead astray,
have believed the lies even though you
tried to tell them you
did this for them.

Even though you cried for them and died for them,
they rejected you
and still until your very last breath
you insist that your death
not be in vain,
in spite of the pain
you want them to know about great gain,
yet they rejected you. And what do you do?
You still love them, for you went through,
you kept your word and did what you said you would do.

So I ask you have you ever been rejected.
