One of our goals when dealing with people, is to reinforce to them how God sees them. When they interact with us, they should quickly realise that “I am loveable”, “I am accepted for who I am”, “I belong”. Their self-concept is their own responsibility, but I am accountable to God for the degree to which I reflect His heart towards them. There are different types of rejection people face. Rejection by family, rejection because of ethnicity, rejection at school, rejection for their faith, rejection in ministry, rejection because of age, and rejection in the corporate world. Acceptance from man is often fickle. I have experienced many types of rejection but through it all have known and experienced God’s delight.
