I believe that each one of us has felt rejected at some point or another and many times, we feel unable to achieve anything.
There are many situations that can make a person feel inferior, e.g. a financial situation, age, physical appearance, lack of abilities or capacity and many other reasons. In our society there are many groups of people that form “gangs” and so on and so forth just so they can feel a part of something.
The Lord Jesus went through many different things such as pain, happiness and suffering when he was here as a human being. He was rejected (by his own people and family), humiliated and betrayed. He experienced every trial and temptation that any other human being goes through.
Though He suffered a great deal, He forgave all those who crucified and killed Him, He forgave those who offended Him and rejected Him, in short, He forgave all of us. His life was cut from the earth: He was excluded. He was a King and yet was rejected by His own people.
And so what about you? You should not feel rejected, inferior or excluded, because God sent Jesus for you! He overcame the world! In Him, we’ll overcome as well.
Jesus does not reject or exclude anyone. The problem is that many times a person makes himself rejected because of lack of faith.

Pastor Luke,
We shouldn't feel rejected because we have someone who would never reject us, which is Jesus! We are the ones who reject ourselves, so we have to have full of faith because Jesus overcame all this and if we are with Jesus then we can overcome this as well.

We shouldn't feeling rejected or feel affraid of not being accepted by others, just remember God will never abandon us no matter what, yet he was also rejected by his own people....

This is true because when we have God we can't feel that way, because He is all we need, we don't need anything from this world.
I am considering this parts: "Though He suffered a great deal, He FORGAVE all those who crucified and killed Him, He FORGAVE those who offended Him and rejected Him, in short, He FORGAVE all of us. His life was cut from the earth: He was excluded. He was a King and yet was rejected by His own people.
Jesus does not reject or exclude anyone. The problem is that many times a person makes HIMSELF rejected because of LACK OF FAITH."
These were the parts I found useful. I am feeling quite down in this moment, because I can´t get things right. I have just tried to tell sth to my sister, but she doesn´t hear anymore. I miss my sister, the sister that pushed me to church, the sister that was strong and so filled with faith. And then, I read about forgiveness. That is a difficult word for me, a one that is going to be the main character of the month for me. I am almost comparing it to a sacrifice, for the amount of will it is requiring from me.
But I am excluding myself odf so many things... I am the one that is rejecting me... So, I must do, what I must do.
