\nNot everyone is willing to hear the Good News, even the apostles of Christ faced rejection. The hearer is responsible for what he does with the message he is given.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nInstead of feeling down when we are rejected, we need to remember to shake the dust off and keep sharing the message of Christ. We must also keep in mind that they are not rejecting us, but Christ Himself, and that prayers for a softened heart are needed.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nHeavenly Father, help me to be a faithful messenger of your Word. Keep in my heart to always think of souls first, and to keep hurt\u00a0feelings at bay. Please help me to gain knowledge so that I can share with others\u00a0your wonderful message. Help me to carry your\u00a0Word\u00a0to as many\u00a0souls as I can,\u00a0to shake off the dust and keep going.<\/p>\n
