In order to overcome fear of rejection, you must firmly believe that God designed you physically, intellectually, and temperamentally, and gave you an assignment no one else can fulfil. Putting yourself down may seem humble, but it\u2019s actually a form of pride because it\u2019s causing you to reject God\u2019s design and plan for you. So begin to emphatically declare with the psalmist: \u2018Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvellous\u2014how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 139:14\u201317 NLT) <\/p>\n
Where did you get the idea that you are \u2018less than\u2019? Whether it started with critical parents, condemning clergy, unwise teachers, cruel classmates or a verbally abusive spouse, remember that Satan is the \u2018father of lies\u2019.<\/i> (John 8:44 NLT) He used someone to lie to you about your worth and potential. Repeat: \u2018It was a lie! It was a lie! It was a lie!\u2019 <\/p>\n
Decide to reject that lie now. In other words, reject rejection! Make a list of every God-given gift, asset, advantage, or other benefit you possess that is, or could be, a blessing to others. Don\u2019t use worldly systems in developing your list. Focus on character issues such as integrity, loyalty, generosity, discernment, wisdom, and patience. Think of ways you can use each one of these features to glorify God and be a blessing to others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
