Unquenchable Love!
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So, we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. (Galatians 1:4-6 NLT)
My beloved child rejection is devastating, but you must reject rejection! Rejection is a spirit of withdrawal, reclusiveness, motivated by a fear of man and feeling like you won’t measure up. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18) Perhaps your parents were too hard on you and punished you frequently, and a spirit of rejection was formed in you at a young age. It is a choice to let rejection go and give it to Father God and let go of all the anger, rage, bitterness, fighting, looking for identity from the father and not finding it. (Ephesians 4:31-32) You are seeking approval and identity from a man who cannot give you what only Father God can give you. A deep need to be loved and approved is at the root of all addictions. The need to be loved takes us to an altered state of consciousness to avoid the pain and create an alternate feeling as if we were loved. Seek the One true loveYou must recognize what fear is. There are different types of fear.
1. Fear of the future.
2. Fear of failure.
3. Fear of man.
4. Fear of evil.
God has not given you a spirit of fear, you have been given power, love, and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7) Fear comes from not trusting God. Rejection unconsciously looks for weaker people to hang out with. The greatest fear of someone who has been rejected is being rejected, and usually, they will reject others before being rejected themselves. Fear of abandonment also enters the equation. Instead of being focused on the love humans give you, be captivated with God’s love, then when people say ugly things to you it will bounce off you like water rolling off a duck’s back. Pursue and cultivate a relationship and fellowship with God; it’s a choice! There is no fear in love. However, perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment.
Rejection produces fear, guilt, and shame. A spirit of rejection and its armor rules you until you get rid of it and renew your mind. Guard your heart! (Proverbs 4:23) When your defenses are down, you can be pierced, wounded and scarred and it will steal your joy and scar you. Lay rejection and regret on the altar at the feet of Jesus and let it go. Repent and lay down the sins of your youth that has brought you guilt and shame. Forgive yourself! Once you lay it down at the foot of the cross at Jesus’ feet and repent, you are forgiven and released of your sins. When you accepted Jesus as your Savior, you were adopted as a son/daughter by Heavenly Father. You are accepted and beloved, own it! (Galatians 4:5) His love for you is unquenchable! If God is for you, who can be against you? (Romans 8:31) You may fail, but you are not a failure! The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked. (Proverbs 24:16 NLT) Just because you make a mistake does not mean you are a mistake. God loves you so much He gave His only Son for you. (John 3:16)
