“The next time you feel rejection's sting, remember God's words to Samuel: "It is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me." (1 Sam. 8:7)”

“Do not look on [her] appearance or on the height of [her] stature, because I have rejected [her]; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.--1 Samuel 16:7”

“You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.”

“Jeez, you’re strong.” And you, Sam, are a conversational reject.”

“To be rejected by someone doesn't mean you should also reject yourself or that you should think of yourself as a lesser person. It doesn't mean that nobody will ever love you anymore. Remember that only ONE person has rejected you at the moment, and it only hurt so much because to you, that person's opinion symbolized the opinion of the whole world, of God.”

“But you did not know that as soon as man rejects miracles, he will at once reject God as well, for man seeks not so much God as miracles.”
