“The trauma of rejection” creates peculiar mind games, distorting the perception of the world and others. It is difficult for a person to realize that he is dreaming in reality, some kind of alternative reality. He suffers, is disappointed, but continues to get hurt at the corners of his own distorted perception, shifting responsibility for the pain onto other people.
The trauma of rejection in an adult is not quite a trauma, and not quite a rejection. As a child, such a person was unlucky, he was not unconditionally accepted, this is how the circumstances developed. And in the past, the child was able to withstand what was happening to him only thanks to fantasies about a world in which everything would be the way he wanted. He agreed with himself to be patient, betraying himself, with the condition that he would receive everything, everything, everything, but later.
Reasons for rejection
Often a person receives the first wounds of rejection in childhood. Parents, raising children without love, sometimes say: “Nothing will come of you! You will never change for the better!” And sometimes parents are simply unable to express their love. One person said: “I think my father loved me. But in his entire life he never once sat me on his lap; he never did anything to show me how much he loved me.” When talking with children who are bitter and disobedient, you can hear from them: “Parents gave us money, bought us everything we wanted, but they never gave us time. They never gave themselves to us."
Abandonment may appear in a child as a result of parental divorce or if parents give preference to another child - a brother or sister.
One mother loved the first of her two daughters more. One day this mother heard a noise in the next room and, thinking that it was her beloved daughter, called to her: “Is that you, beloved?” In response, the voice of her other daughter sounded: “No, it’s just me!”
Emotional rejection of a child by parents
Emotional rejection is an ineffective parental attitude, which manifests itself in the lack or absence of emotional contact between parent and child, and the parent’s insensitivity to the needs of the child.
Rejection can be overt or covert.
With obvious rejection, the parent demonstrates that he does not love and does not accept his child and is irritated with him. Hidden rejection manifests itself in global dissatisfaction with the child (he is not so smart, skillful, beautiful), although formally, the parent fulfills his parental responsibilities. Often, emotional rejection is masked by exaggerated attention and care, but it is revealed by the desire to avoid close (physical) contact.
Experts note that emotional rejection is often a consequence of the totalitarian consciousness of parents. In this case, in family communication, on the one hand, a deficit of positive emotional expressiveness arises, and on the other, the uncontrolled manifestation of repressed negative emotions becomes the rule. Of course, parents have a need to caress their child and often they experience an obvious or vague feeling of guilt for the stingy display of affection. But due to insufficient awareness of one’s own emotional states, emotions break through with spontaneous outbursts of affection outside the actual context of communication. The child is forced, even obliged, to accept affection and respond to it, regardless of his own mood at that moment.
Rejection is also associated with inadequate parental expectations for the child.
Parents may perceive their children as older in age and therefore not in need of much care and attention. Sometimes parents create an ideal, fictitious image of a child that arouses their love. For some parents, this is an obedient, comfortable child. For others - successful, enterprising. However, in both cases, the fictional image of the child will not correspond to the real one. In many cases, rejection is combined with strict control, with the imposition of the only “correct” type of behavior on the child. Along with strict control, rejection can be combined with a lack of control, indifference to the child’s life, and complete connivance.
Emotional rejection of a child is often accompanied by frequent punishment, including physical punishment.
Moreover, mothers who reject their children tend to punish them for turning to them for help, as well as for the desire to communicate with them. Parents who reject their children and use an abusive style of interaction with them believe in the necessity and normality of physical punishment. Often, disobedience or unwanted behavior is punished by deprivation of parental love, demonstration of the child’s uselessness: “Mom doesn’t like that, she’ll find another boy (girl).” The consequence of this is the formation in the child of a feeling of insecurity, fear of loneliness, abandonment. A lack of parental responsiveness to the child’s needs contributes to the child’s feeling of “learned helplessness,” which subsequently often leads to apathy and even depression, avoidance of new situations, and lack of curiosity and initiative.
It is also very important to what extent and at what age the child was deprived of maternal love and care. In cases where the child is not completely deprived of maternal care and maternal love is sometimes shown, the child may learn to expect some kind of emotional reaction from his parents. If this emotional reward is a condition for his submission to parental demands, then under such conditions the child is more likely to develop anxious submission than aggressiveness. Rejecting parents are often characterized by inversion of child-parent roles. Parents delegate their own responsibilities to their children, and themselves behave helplessly, demonstrating the need for guardianship and care. The basis of a child’s emotional rejection may be a conscious, and most often unconscious, identification of the child with some negative aspects in the parents’ own life.
The following personal problems of parents are identified that cause emotional rejection of the child:
- Underdevelopment of parental feelings, which outwardly manifests itself in poor tolerance of the child’s company and superficial interest in his affairs. The reasons for the underdevelopment of parental feelings may be the rejection of the parent himself in childhood, when he himself did not experience parental warmth;
- Personal characteristics of the parent, for example, pronounced emotional coldness;
- Lack of place for the child in the life plans of the parents. Projection of one's own negative traits onto the child - by fighting them in the child, the parent derives emotional benefit for himself. The attitude of the parent towards the child depending on the gender of the child.
According to researchers, “initial or basal” anxiety that arises in a child suffering from a deficiency of parental love is a source of neuroticism of the individual.
Rejection and rejection cause anxiety in the child because the need for love, affection and protection is blocked. Such a child can achieve praise and mother’s love through exemplary behavior and success in activities. In this case, fear arises: “If I behave badly, they will not love me.” Fear of failure causes anxiety, which, with real failures, is consolidated and becomes a personality trait.
Rejection of a child by parents leads to the formation of the following internal positions of the child: “I am not loved, but with all my heart I want to get closer to you” and “I am not needed and not loved. Leave me alone".
The first position has two possible options for the child’s behavior. The child experiences a feeling of guilt and sees the fact of rejection by his parents as punishment for his “badness.” The consequence of such experiences can be a loss of self-esteem and an irrational desire to improve and meet parental expectations.
The second behavior option is associated with the child’s rejection of the family. In this case, the child comes to the conclusion that it is the parents who are to blame for his rejection. Such children behave aggressively and dismissively with their parents; it seems that they deliberately irritate their parents, taking revenge on them for their lack of love. Aggression is a way of reacting to emotional rejection. In particular, in situations of non-acceptance, the child screams, fights, cries, and strives in any way to attract the mother’s attention.
The position “I am not needed and not loved, leave me alone” leads to the desire to get rid of the attention of an adult. The child demonstrates his stupidity, clumsiness, and bad habits in order to “scare” the parent away from him. Such a situation leads the child down the stage of social development. A rejected child seeks to attract the attention of the parent at any cost, even through quarrels, breakups, and oppositional behavior. This child behavior is called “negative attention seeking.” In this case, a vicious circle is formed: the more stubbornness and negativism on the part of the child, the more punishments and restrictions on the part of the parent, which leads to increased oppositional behavior in the child. The child reinforces his immature, inadequate attitude towards the family and asserts himself through defiant behavior.

Rejection is a refusal to accept something, an uprooting from one’s environment. These are all the things that happen to people that make them feel unloved, damaged, or unworthy. This phenomenon can manifest itself explicitly or occur hidden. Obvious rejection is revealed, for example, when a spouse cheats, when parents beat a child, being in despair or irritation because of his misdeeds.
The individual who committed suicide suffered obvious rejection from the surrounding society. With hidden rejection, a person experiences similar painful sensations and dire consequences as an individual who has suffered overt rejection, but does not realize why a negative attitude towards his own person arose. An example of implicit rejection is parental overprotection, increased control over the child’s existence, making decisions for the baby. As a result of such upbringing, the baby grows up unadapted to an independent existence.
Consequences of Rejection
Rejection gradually grows in a person, affecting his character and habits, leaving scars from pain, due to which a person becomes overly distrustful and cautious. He may think, “I am a failure”; "Nobody needs me"; “I’m superfluous everywhere and disturb everyone,” etc.
Rejected people, as a rule, are characterized by low self-esteem and constant self-pity. Therefore, they are extremely touchy, vulnerable and do not know how to forgive. Such people are very dependent on the opinions of others and are always afraid that they will be rejected again. People with a weak will are characterized by a depressed state, depression, and thoughts of suicide. The strong, on the contrary, display unreasonable anger, vindictiveness and rebellious behavior.
Rejection also results in an inability to accept or show love. It is a rare person who has never received love who is capable of love.
How to survive rejection
There are two of the most painful experiences that are quite difficult to cope with alone. This is a feeling of despair and rejection of a person. It is impossible to hide from these experiences, because you cannot hide from your own person. They are difficult to bear, especially at night, when a person is left to his own devices, when everything around is immersed in the Morphean kingdom and silence rules the world. It is then that the grayest thoughts begin to overcome, driving away sleep.
The structure of a person is such that he often acts based on his experience, without taking any action to check reality. So, for example, guys who have been refused by young beauties to go to a rendezvous with them may later unconsciously come to the conclusion that they are not interesting, attractive, or smart enough.
This can lead to boys stopping asking girls out for fear of feeling rejected again. Also, the female sex does not want to experience rejection by a man again, so they avoid close contacts with the opposite sex.
People tend to endow the surrounding individuals with characteristics and traits that they have independently chosen for them within themselves, but at the same time perceiving these qualities as something they acquired from the outside. It is natural for a person to attribute in advance to others how they will act or what they will say.
The pain of rejection can be healed. It is also possible to prevent its negative, emotional, psychological, and cognitive consequences. In order to get rid of the trauma of rejection, you need to pay attention to your own emotional wounds. You need to accept rejection and understand that it is impossible to please everyone. Breaking a friendship does not mean that no one will be friends with the person anymore. Rejection by one man does not mean that a woman is not admired by others.
There is a significant advantage in the emotions generated by a person’s rejection - if you accept and experience them, then these negative feelings will soon disappear.
It is necessary to recognize that non-acceptance causes pain, anger, frustration, and aggression towards the rejecting subject, but it is not recommended to get stuck on such negative emotions.
The pain caused by rejection prevents adequate interaction with the social environment. Therefore, the sooner a rejected individual allows himself to experience the full range of emotions generated by rejection, the faster he can heal.
It is not recommended to ignore the emotions caused by the trauma in question, since they give a powerful impetus to a person for further professional development, as well as personal development.
When you feel rejected, first of all, you should try to assess the situation from a detached perspective. Often events can suggest what in a person’s behavioral model creates problems for others. At the same time, people often tend to exaggerate, taking rejection as personal, not realizing that, for example, refusal of a position does not characterize him as a person.
There is no need to accept rejection as a disappointment. Even if you previously had to endure rejection, you need to understand that this is not yet a negative assessment of a person’s personality. This is just a subjective discrepancy between what is desired and reality.
It will be useful to make a small list consisting of five winning character qualities, traits that are especially highly valued by a person. It is desirable that this list be interconnected with the role in which he was when he was rejected.
If a person has been pushed away repeatedly, and he is unable to get rid of painful memories for a long time, then this devastates him mentally. Individuals who have been subjected to regular rejection are predisposed to alcoholism, depression, drug addiction, and suicide. If a person cannot cope with the negative consequences of rejection on his own, then it is recommended to seek professional psychotherapeutic help.
God's Cure for Rejection
No doctor, no medicine can help get rid of rejection. There is only one cure - the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross.
No one other than Jesus Christ can fully understand the feelings you experience when you are betrayed or rejected. In the life of Jesus Christ, situations of severe trials, rejection and contempt were allowed so that we could come to Him in prayer with our problems and believe that He would understand us like no one else and would take upon Himself all our pain.
Dying on the cross, shedding blood, Jesus Christ took upon Himself the sins of every person living on earth. There, on the cross, He experienced the most severe rejection that can happen. But Jesus experienced the most difficult experiences when the Heavenly Father turned away from Him, because God is Holy, and Christ bore the sins of the whole world. A holy God has nothing to do with sin, which is why He forsaken His Son for a time.
The complete rejection of the Father broke Jesus' heart. Therefore, on the cross He cried out with a loud voice: “My God, My God! Why have you forsaken me? (Mark 15:34).
Jesus survived the rejection of the Father so that we would be accepted by the Heavenly Father, because then God the Father raised Christ from the dead and seated us at His right hand. Therefore, to every person who believes that Jesus Christ died for his sins, who opens his heart and accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, the Heavenly Father says: “My Son suffered the greatest rejection on the cross so that you could be accepted by Me.”
Rejection, reject
1) The Lord has the right to answer the person who rejects Him: “For this I will also reject you.”
This applies both to individuals - Esau (Heb. 12:17), King Saul (1 Sam. 15:23), and to the entire people, including priests and prophets: “Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you” (Hos. 4:5,6). Probably the rejection of Israel. the people of the word of God caused St. Jeremiah the most severe suffering (Jer 6:19,30; 7:29; 14:19; 52:3; Lamentations 2:7; 5:22). Nothing can protect you from being rejected by God. The holy city of Jerusalem does not protect from the wrath of God (2 Kings 23:27). “The temple which I have dedicated to My name I will cast away from My presence” (1 Kings 9:7), and the same applies to the altar (Lam. 2:7). The fact of God's election (see Election, chosenness, elect) does not in any way exclude the possibility of being rejected: “Are you not like the sons of the Ethiopians to Me, the sons of Israel? says the Lord. Was it not I who brought Israel out of the land of Egypt and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Aramites from Cairo? Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the wicked kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth" (Amos 9:7,8). He who is exalted on high will be brought down to hell (Matthew 11:20ff.). The “sons of the kingdom” will be “cast out into outer darkness” (Matthew 8:12). Only in one case does chosenness remain eternal, despite rejection. Christ, this “stone which the builders rejected” (Mark 12:10 et al.), has the power to determine the fate of the world and the fate of individual people: “Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; and on whomever it falls, it will crush him” (Luke 20:18; 1 Peter 2:8), and “he who believes in Him will not be put to shame.” For the rejected stone became the cornerstone, the head of the corner, completing and bearing the new Temple, the people of God; 2) Paul, who knew on his own. experience of what it means to be accepted by Christ, he realizes with deep pain the fact of Israel’s rejection. people (Rom 11:15). Israel as a people originally belonged to God's adoption and glory, covenants and Law, worship and promises. From this people came the forefathers according to the flesh and Christ Himself (Rom. 9:1 et seq.). Does this mean that God's promises were made in vain? No, for after the acceptance of the pagans into the bosom of the Church, the hour of Israel will strike again (Rom. 11:11 et seq.). If God has grafted the Gentiles into the root of God's people as new branches, how much more can He graft back the broken branches of the people of Israel. But God's promises are yea and amen only in Christ (2 Cor 1:20). God broke off the branches of Israel because of their unbelief (Rom. 11:20) and imprisoned the Jews along with the Gentiles in disobedience in order to have mercy on all. But if Israel persists in unbelief, its branches will not be grafted in again. see Remainder; 3) doesn’t the ending contradict? rejection of the mercy of God, because He loves the world (John 3:16) and “all things are from Him, by Him and to Him” (Rom 11:36)? The Bible answers this question by stating that salvation is for everyone who believes (Mark 16:16; John 3:16,18). Not only an unbeliever, but also one whose faith is not supported by a life worthy of a Christian, risks finding himself outside of salvation. Even up. Paul constantly worked on himself so that he himself would not be rejected (1 Cor. 9:27). Pardon is not God's duty; He is free to exercise His mercy (Rom. 9:15). Therefore He can reject. In both, He manifests His omnipotence, but He cannot be influenced. The solution can also be a humble request: “Cast me not away from Thy presence” (Ps. 50:13). MAN REJECTS MAN The word "O." is also used in the Bible in the case when a man breaks up a marriage and sends his wife away with a letter of divorce (Lev 21:7,14; Isa 54:6; Num 30:9) or when a person, for example, a priest, is excommunicated from ministry (1 Kings 2:27, in the Synodal translation - “to remove”; 2 Chronicles 11:14, in the Synodal translation - “to set aside”). Brockhaus Biblical Encyclopedia. F. Rinecker, G. Mayer. 1994.
Forgive
An important step towards overcoming rejection is forgiveness.
Jesus Christ showed true forgiveness when, at the moment of His crucifixion, He prayed: “Father! forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). He, a perfect Man and the Son of God, forgave everyone, thereby showing us an example of great love. Therefore, we can come to Him in faith and ask Him to teach us to do the same.
Forgiveness is not an emotion, but our decision. If we say: “I cannot,” then we mean: “I do not want.” But when we decide to forgive, God gives us the strength to do it.
Forgiveness brings relief, first of all, to ourselves. It is well known that it is not the one who offended who suffers more, but the one who is offended.
By freeing ourselves from the judgment of our offenders, we reach a new level of personal freedom.
One clergyman told how he talked with a woman who came up to him for prayer. He asked her: “Do you want to forgive your husband?” “After he ruined fifteen years of my life and then ran off with another woman? – she was surprised. - This is impossible!" “But do you really want him to ruin the rest of your life? If so, keep hating him and it will happen."
Emotional rejection of a child
The ineffective attitude of parents, found in the deficit or absence of emotional interaction with the child, in the parent’s insensitivity to the child’s needs, leads to the child’s experience of emotional rejection.
If the child is clearly not accepted, the parent shows dislike for his own child and experiences dissatisfaction and irritation towards him. Hidden rejection is revealed in large-scale dissatisfaction with the baby, considering him not beautiful, smart, or skillful enough. In this case, the parent formally takes care of the baby, fulfilling parental responsibilities. Often the phenomenon in question can be masked by inflated attention and exaggerated concern, but the desire to avoid physical contact gives it away.
Often, emotional rejection is the result of undemocratic parental consciousness. Therefore, in family interaction there is a lack of positive emotional expression against the background of an uncontrolled demonstration of repressed negative emotions. At the same time, parents may have a need to snuggle the baby; often they may feel an obvious or subtle feeling of guilt due to the stingy expression of affection. However, due to insufficient comprehension of one’s own emotional sensations, feelings break through with spontaneous bursts of affection outside the adequate context of interaction. The child has to accept tenderness and show a reaction to affection, even if he is not in the mood to show emotions at that particular moment.
In addition, rejection is also due to inadequate parental expectations for the child.
Parents often perceive their children as more mature than they really are, and therefore not in need of more attention and care. Sometimes parents come up with an ideal, fictitious image of a child that arouses their love. Some create the image of a comfortable, obedient baby, while others create the image of a successful and enterprising one. It doesn’t matter what image the parents came up with, the main thing is that it does not correspond to reality.
Rejection is often accompanied by strict control, imposing the only “correct” behavior on the child. Also, non-acceptance of a child can be coupled with a lack of control, indifference to the child, and absolute indulgence.
Emotional rejection of a child by parents is often accompanied by punishment, including physical abuse.
At the same time, mothers who reject their own babies are inclined to punish them because they turn to them for support and for their desire for communication interaction with them. Adults who reject children and use abusive parenting styles believe in the normality and necessity of physical abuse.
Often, disobedience or unwanted behavior is punished by depriving parents of love and demonstrating the child’s worthlessness. As a result of this behavior, the baby develops a feeling of insecurity, abandonment, and fear of loneliness. The lack of parental involvement in meeting the child’s needs contributes to the child’s feeling of “helplessness,” which in the future often causes apathy and can lead to depressive attitudes, avoidance of new conditions, and a lack of inquisitiveness and initiative.
Particularly important is the age stage at which the baby was deprived of parental care and love. In situations of partial deprivation of care, when parental affection is present at least occasionally, the baby often begins to expect some kind of emotional response from his own parents. If such an emotional “reward” occurs exclusively after submission to the demands of the parents, then the consequence of this will be the development of anxious submission rather than aggressiveness. Rejecting parents often experience a reversal of child-parent roles. Adults delegate their own responsibilities to children, behaving helplessly and showing the need for care. The basis for emotional rejection of a baby may lie in the child’s conscious or unconscious identification with certain negative aspects in the parents’ own existence.
The following are the personal problems of adults that cause emotional rejection of the child. First of all, the underdevelopment of parental feelings, externally manifested by the child’s poor tolerance for company and superficial interest in the child’s affairs. The reason for the underdevelopment of parental feelings is often the non-acceptance of the adult himself in childhood, when he himself did not feel parental love.
The personal characteristics of an adult, for example, emotional coldness, also often lead to the rejection of their own child.
The lack of space in the parents' plans for the child gives rise to emotional rejection of the baby. Projection of one's own negative qualities onto the child - by opposing them in the child, the adult gains emotional benefit for himself.
The emotional renunciation of parents from the baby gives rise to the formation of the following internal attitudes of the baby: “They don’t love me, but I strive to get closer to my parents” and “Since I am not loved and not needed, then leave me alone.”
The first attitude is characterized by two possible variations in the child’s behavioral response. The baby experiences a feeling of guilt, as a result of which he sees the fact of non-acceptance by his parents as punishment for his own “imperfection.” The result of such experiences is often a loss of self-esteem and an irrational desire to improve and meet parental aspirations.
The second variation in behavioral response is manifested by the child’s rejection of the family. Here the child concludes that it is the parents who are to blame for not accepting him. As a result, children behave disdainfully and aggressively towards their parents. It’s as if they are taking revenge on adults for lack of love. Aggression becomes a way of responding to emotional abandonment.
Another attitude leads to the desire to avoid parental attention. The baby shows his own stupidity, clumsiness, and bad habits in order to “scare away” the adult from himself. This behavior sends the child down the path of social development. A child who is rejected by his parents strives to attract parental attention by any means, even through quarrels, by breaking off relationships, and by opposing behavior. Such actions of a child are called “seeking negative attention.” A vicious circle is developed here: the growth of stubbornness and child negativism is directly proportional to the increase in the number of punishments and restrictions, which provokes an increase in opposing behavior in the baby. The child reinforces his own immature, inappropriate attitude towards his family and asserts himself through defiant behavior.
Accept God's love
Another step towards freedom from rejection is accepting the love of Heavenly Father.
God loves us so much that He gave His Son to die for us. We must believe this good news and accept it with all our hearts. When this happens, God's love will supernaturally heal our soul.
We need to believe that God loves us just the way we are. He loves us despite our immaturity. He loves us with our mood swings. He loves us with our excess weight. He loves us even when we struggle with lust. He accepts us with all our flaws and oddities.
God sincerely and endlessly loves us and rejoices in us!
Trauma of Rejection
Some individuals who have the trauma in question may play in society the role of a kind of fatal mistress, breaking fragile girls’ hearts.
Any rejection by the roots comes from a lack of love for one's own personality. People are afraid that they may be offended, but the responsibility for the feeling of resentment lies with them.
Each human individual independently decides whether to be offended or not.
An individual who has experienced rejection of feelings is often dissatisfied with himself, which is revealed in self-sacrifice, lack of self-worth, and a feeling of worthlessness.
The mechanism of formation of the trauma in question is as follows: external rejection is transformed into internal. A person renounces, first of all, the parts that are not accepted by the parents in him (split off pieces) or the parts that threaten the psychological existence of the parent.
Rejection can be direct or indirect. The first consists of regularly ignoring the needs of the baby, refusing to communicate with him, and systematically sending nonverbal or verbal messages directly to the baby. For example, parents tell their child that he is fat and should lose weight, or compare him with other children, saying that they are nice, but he behaves badly. Indirect rejection occurs when parents fill their child with recognition in one area of life, without showing attention to others. Hence, the baby often gets the feeling that he will lose parental love if he makes a mistake.
Such injuries often form during puberty, because it is a sensitive period for the emergence of all kinds of injuries and complexes. Here the leader is communicative interaction with peers, so peer assessment becomes most significant. Moreover, if the parents previously gave the teenager the right messages, instilling in him the understanding that he is loved with all his winning traits and shortcomings, then the fear of rejection will not develop in him.
The core of rejection is the feeling of being unable to exist rejected. The individual believes that he will psychologically disappear if he is not accepted.
The consequence of fear of rejection is the emergence of many other fears - fear of making a mistake, fear of imperfection, and being abandoned.
It is possible to heal the trauma in question only from the inside - with the help of creativity, self-knowledge, working through traumas that came from childhood, and psychotherapy.
Prayer for Deliverance from Rejection
Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that You are the Son of God and the only way to God. You died on the cross for my sins, and You rose from the dead. I repent of all my sins and ask, Jesus, come into my heart with the Holy Spirit.
Lord, I admit that I have a self-rejection in me. And I forgive all those who rejected me, who hurt me (name them if you remember anyone). I bless them in the name of Jesus Christ. I renounce the spirit of rejection. I renounce the fruits of the spirit of rejection: bitterness, resentment, self-pity, jealousy, anger. By the power of the name of Jesus Christ, I destroy all the words of curses spoken by someone towards me. I believe, Lord, that I am accepted by You. Do you really love me. And I accept myself as You created me.
I repent for the fact that I also rejected people (name them, if there are any). I'm sorry for all the negative words spoken towards them. I bless them in the name of Jesus Christ! For all glory, honor and thanksgiving to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Amen.
