In order to overcome rejection even though one may be gifted, it is important to understand who God is and the purpose He created for each of us as an individual. Being gifted relates to being exceptional, proficient, skillful, and talented. It may even classify an individual as an expert or a professional. Oftentimes, it is problematic to understand why there is conflict in our lives. We must contend with good and evil. As a Christian, we are conscientious that we have a God who created us with expectations. We must make an effort to work on our spiritual lives and to live peaceably with all men. A life of discipline is a result of accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Discipline progresses through intimacy with God. Some distinctive ways to obtain confidence about God is the development of a life of prayer, a life of praise and worship, and a life of wisdom. Even though we have a history or a past of being wounded and bewildered, we should love difficult or ungodly people in spite of wanting acceptance. Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52), we also will have wisdom and favor. However, God will grant us favor, and with the right connections, we will have favor with man. Rejection can be a camouflaged blessing. As an individual develops a relationship with our Creator and understands His purpose and plan for our lives, life is rewarding and fulfilling. It is easy to embrace laughter and easier to commune with God without frustration with ourselves and others.
