How do we heal and break free from the wounds of rejection?
Paul gives us the key in Romans 12:1, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
Renewed how? By renouncing the lies we’ve believed based on the messages from others and by claiming the truth of God’s message to us.
“If anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away, the new has come.”
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, there is a transformation in our spirit.
We are identified with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
We are ‘born again’ into God’s family… converted from sinners in Adam to saints in Christ Jesus.
Because of Jesus’ shed blood, we are now 100% accepted by God in Christ Jesus.
We cannot achieve this acceptance by keeping a system of do’s and don’t’s, nor can we lose it by sinning.
It was achieve for us by Jesus and given to us as a gift by His grace through faith in Him.
Because our acceptance is based on Jesus, it can never change.
Praise the Lord!
Beloved, we already have all of the love and acceptance we will ever need in Christ Jesus.
This is the truth, whether we FEEL it or not.
The daily question we must all answer is: “Who is our voice of truth: people or God?”
God alone is the Source of Truth.
People have their good days and bad days.
God alone is consistent. He is the same today, as He was yesterday, as He will be tomorrow.
Beloved, God’s love and acceptance of us depends on Jesus, not on us, so it never changes!
God does not always approve of what we do, but He always approves of us!
When we choose sin, He lovingly disciplines us to teach us to choose obedience to Him the next time.
The Lord Jesus was despised and forsaken by men. He knew rejection intimately.
Jesus understands the pain of rejection, and He longs to deliver us from it.
Please stop and ask the Holy Spirit to search your Hidden Chambers and root out all lingering pain from human rejection.
Picture in your imagination giving it all over to Him.
Forgive and unhook from those who have rejected you
Start each day by setting your mind on resting and receiving His great love for you!
Blessings!
