Hollywood Prayer Network On RejectionSample

DON'T REJECT PEOPLE BY THEIR APPEARANCE 

"For every successful actor or actress, there are countless numbers who don't make it. The name of the game is rejection. You go to an audition and you're told you're too tall or you're too Irish or your nose is not quite right. You're rejected for your education, you're rejected for this or that and it's really tough." Liam Neeson

PRAY:   Dear Heavenly Father, please give me the wisdom to not judge, accept, or reject people by their outward appearance, but to be like You and look at people's hearts. Thank you that nothing is more important to You than my heart and my intentions. How sobering that You reject people who appear to be great in our eyes but whom You can see as hypocrites, phonies, or liars. Don't let me reject anyone whom You see as beautiful on the inside!

REFLECT:  It's so easy to reject people based on their appearance. That's one of the main reasons Christians reject Hollywood entertainment celebrities. They think they are arrogant, selfish, narcissistic, rich and immoral. And yet the Lord does not look at the things people look at. He loves EVERYONE, even the Hollywood celebrities, or anyone else you have trouble loving. How do you change your negative views of people? Maybe it's to pray that you can see them through God's eyes and have His heart for them.

ACT:  Think of someone in Hollywood whom either you have rejected, or you think God has rejected, or whom you have idolized because of what you see on the outside, and start praying for them. Ask the Lord to see that person's heart and to embrace them with His unconditional love. Don't let the outward appearance of anyone in Hollywood stop you from praying for them, with love, to find Jesus. You can start right now!
