The lie we learn when we experience the pain of rejection is that we are not worth it. That we are a cosmic accident, a catastrophic failure, or a magnificent mistake.

Satan wants you to believe that you are trash with no purpose beyond simply being thrown away.

But God does not make mistakes and you are not one. He sent Jesus to win where you fail and die where you deserved so you could be accepted as you are. Do not let others’ rejection keep you from experiencing God’s reception. You are not the sum of your mistakes, failures, or shortcomings- In Christ, you are a new creation, the work of the Master; He never makes mistakes, he only makes masterpieces.
