There are moments in life when you feel invisible. Overlooked. Misunderstood. Pushed to the side, dismissed, underestimated — not because you're not capable, but because people couldn't see what God placed inside you.
They saw your past, not your potential.
They saw your mistake, not your mission.
They saw your weakness, not your worth.
But here’s the truth: God doesn’t take votes. He gives callings.
When man says you’re not qualified, God says, “I’ve already chosen them.”
When they walk away, God steps in.
When they count you out, God counts you in — and His count is the only one that matters.
You Were Chosen Before They Could Reject You
Long before anyone had an opinion about your life, God had a plan for it.
You weren’t an accident. You weren’t a backup. You weren’t God’s second choice.
You were handpicked — on purpose, with purpose.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart...” — Jeremiah 1:5
The enemy wants you to believe the rejection was a reflection of your value. But it wasn’t.
It was redirection.
Because sometimes God lets people count you out… so He can make it undeniable when He raises you up.
What They Overlooked, God Is About to Use
That gift you thought no one saw? God saw it.
That pain you thought disqualified you? God is using it.
That season you thought was wasted? God is redeeming it.
David was left in the field when his brothers were called in. Joseph was thrown into a pit by his own blood. Jesus Himself was rejected by the very people He came to save.
So if they rejected you — you’re in good company.
Because what man rejects, God resurrects.
It’s Not About Who Left — It’s About Who Stayed
Let them count you out. Let them walk away. Let them doubt.
Because you weren’t built on their approval — you were built on God’s appointment.
You don’t need the crowd. You don’t need the credit.
All you need is the call, and the anointing to carry it.
You’re not rising because of who likes you.
You’re rising because of who lives in you.
God Specializes in the Counted-Out
He chose the forgotten.
He anointed the youngest.
He used the broken, the barren, the battered.
Because God doesn’t choose the obvious — He chooses the willing.
You might not be the most popular.
You might not have the perfect story.
But you’ve got oil on your life. You’ve got purpose in your pain.
And you’ve got a God who calls you His — even when the world turns its back.
Final Word: Get Ready
They thought it was over for you.
They thought they saw the last of you.
They thought you didn’t have what it takes.
But God is about to make it undeniable that His hand is on your life.
You’re stepping into rooms they said you’d never enter.
You’re receiving blessings they thought would skip over you.
You’re walking in purpose they said didn’t belong to you.
They counted you out — but God counted you in.
And when He says yes, no one can say no.
