SET ME FREE FROM SELF-HATRED: REJECTION
I don't know about you, but one of the biggest feeders of the feeling of self-hatred in my own heart is rejection. I still remember keenly every one of the girls who didn't want to go out with me in my youth.
And here's the reason for that secret pain--I'm not angry with them and never was. I don't blame them at all. In fact, I fear that they were right. I fear that I am boring, ugly, and too big a loser to be seen with in public.
Surely you know the taste of rejection: Cut from the team. Dumped by your girlfriend or wife. Fired from your job, which not only cuts off your income but devastates your self-worth and even your identity.
Mocked and ignored by your children.
Rejection will be a part of human life till the end. That's why it's so important for all of us to tap into a steady and unlimited stream of affection and approval from our Savior-God: "Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me" (Psalm 27:10).
If I choose to let God be the ultimate arbiter of my self-worth, then I will never have to see myself as a loser. Faith in my Savior Jesus makes me a winner.
