There are moments in life when it feels like “NO” is the only answer we’re hearing.
No, you didn’t get the job.
No, the relationship didn’t work out.
No, the opportunity didn’t open.
No, things didn’t go your way again.
And when those “NO’s” stack up in your inbox, your heart, and your hopes, it’s easy to feel defeated. I’ve been there. Maybe you’re there right now.
But what if the “NO” isn’t the end? What if it’s part of the process?
It took me a while to understand that a “NO” isn’t always rejection, it’s often protection or preparation. That job that passed me up? It wasn’t mine to begin with. That relationship that ended? It was clearing space for peace, growth, and purpose. That closed door? It may be shielding me from something I can’t yet see.
Instead of being discouraged, I’ve learned to count the “NO’s” as blessings. Each one is a gentle nudge from God, saying, “Not this, my child, because I have better.”
We don’t always understand it in the moment. But faith isn’t about always having the answers; it’s about trusting the One who does.
So, if you’re facing disappointment right now, hear this: there’s an open door coming. One that’s meant for you. One that no man, no rejection, no circumstance can close. Keep your heart open and your mind focused on what truly matters.
Don’t forget the blessings you already have; they’re proof that God is still working. And he’s not done yet.
Hold on. Keep going. And remember: sometimes the biggest blessings come after the loudest “NO’s.”
Until the next time,
Share Life, Be Life, Love Life, & Live Life
