Rejection can feel like a tearing away, like a door closing, like a love unreturned, like
not being chosen and I know it hurts and I want you to hear this.
Rejection is not a reflection of who you are, of your value, it is not the final word on
you, on your belonging, your beauty or your purpose.
Rejection just gives you more information about what's not for you, what isn't meant
for you.
Take a moment to name the feeling.
Maybe there's disappointment or a hope that you had had.
Gently placing your hand over your heart, speak to that part of yourself with kindness.
I see you.
You matter to me.
You are wanted and loved.
I value you.
I hear what you are wanting.
I understand.
Asking yourself, what is that part needing right now?
What is it saying?
I want to feel loved.
I want to feel seen and known.
Beautiful desires.
These are wonderful longings.
Remember you are loved, you are seen and you are chosen.
It's okay to feel the disappointment and the sadness here.
Imagine the arms of Jesus wrapping around you, speaking over you, you are mine.
I understand, he says, he knows rejection.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I am in Christ, loved, seen and known.
And letting yourself grieve what might feel like a loss right now.
Maybe this rejection is redirection, guiding you to places, people and love that is truly
meant for you.
What didn't they get?
What didn't they understand?
Maybe it's time to let that go, to let them go.
Breathe in grace, exhale shame.
Breathe in love and exhale the hurt.
You are exactly who you were created to be, discovering who that is.
As you attune to this part of you, what is that part of you needing right now?
Care, compassion, I am safe?
Remember you are deeply, deeply loved and honoring that part of you and what you had
hoped and what you are discovering.
In this time where something or someone has hurt you, inviting Jesus in, I am safe and
I am accepted.
Letting your body relax and knowing you don't have to fix this, you don't have to fix anything.
Imagine you are in a beautiful light room.
This light room is where you are accepted in Him.
You are loved and accepted and delighted in and seen.
He is wrapping His arms around you.
Jesus is with you and Father God and Holy Spirit speaking over you.
What does He want you to know?
Taking this time just to listen, what is His heart towards you?
You are mine, I see you, I delight in you, you are enough, I cherish you.
Bringing in grace, releasing any doubt.
You can sit here and rest and honor whatever feeling you need.
You are mine, I see you, I delight in you, you are enough, I cherish you.
