JEPHTHAH 2 - Unwanted, but Always Wanted

Revelation 21:7... All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. ----------Rejection is one of the most common tools that the devil uses to destroy our lives. It can attack any person whether young or old, rich or poor. It can be deeply rooted and woven into their identities since childhood. It can destroy our self-esteem and prevent us from accomplishing our God-given purposes in life.----------Whatever the case, we've all experienced some kinds of rejection and we know it hurts. These wounds can bring about a host of other sins such as envy, blaming God, jealousy, or an unwillingness to forgive and many others.----------Those spiritual wounds when not dealt with are open doors for the evil spirits to invade and occupy. But, according to God’s Word, rejection erodes the foundation of character that God desires for each of us.----------Only God can be trusted as the source of our real identity. God never wanted us to feel rejected or abandoned. He wants us to be loved and accepted.
