Love and relationships
Rejection
Feeling that other people do not accept us, push us away, or do not love us.
What the Bible can tell you
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Psalms 27:10
Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God's love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:39
A human reading
Rejection hurts because it touches our basic need to belong. But a person's worth does not depend on other people's opinions. There are people who do accept you as you are, and it is worth looking for them.
