Do you ever feel that no matter what you do or how you act towards friends and loved ones, you get pushed away? Is the love of your parents non-existent? Or maybe your marriage has failed, because your spouse rejected the relationship.
Whatever you’ve faced or currently facing, God never intended you’re life to be this way. When you depend on people, you’ll fail. Unfortunately, they will disappoint and reject you for one reason or another.
When you learn how to hurt, then you tend to create more hurt towards others. If you never learned how to love, then you can’t show love. Or you crave love, so you’ll do what ever it takes to find it. Eventually, you may even give up!
I like to believe that Rejected People – Reject People…
I too have felt the pain of rejection. I as well as you, will experience this on a daily basis in one form or another. So I wanted to start my first personal growth bible study that tears down the stronghold of rejection.
I believe that this stronghold is so powerful that it stops you from fulfilling your best life. Rejection will cause you to withdraw from life, become depressed and close yourself off from the world.
My prayer is that you will dig deep and honestly answer the study questions below. Read and allow Gods word to speak to your heart in order to move forward and defeat any type of rejection in your life. This study is a tool to be used for you to grow personally.
All you’ll need is a bible or bible app, notebook or journal, pen and an open heart. 🙂 Feel free to work at your own pace, but I suggest completing it within 1-2 weeks. So, if you’re ready, let’s get started!
