What if the rejection you feel most deeply isn't even real? We all create stories in our minds about how others perceive us, but these narratives often spring from our own insecurities rather than reality. This powerful conclusion to our three-part rejection series explores how living from a foundation of being deeply loved transforms everything about how we navigate perceived slights and actual rejection.

Through an uncomfortably relatable story about a gym encounter gone wrong, we discover how easily we assign thoughts to others they never had and own rejection they never gave us. The problem isn't just external rejection – it's our desperate search for validation in all the wrong places.

God offers us a profoundly different path. When we slow down long enough to abide in Jesus, delight in Him, and dwell in His presence, something remarkable happens. Our empty cups get filled not with mere drops but with overflowing love that changes how we see ourselves and others. 

The journey to living loved isn't about manipulating our feelings or forcing positive self-talk. It's about returning to our Creator who formed us, cherishes us, and sings over us. As Zephaniah 3:17 reveals, "The Lord your God is with you, the mighty warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing."

Like the disciples who were first called to "be with Jesus" before being sent out, we discover that fullness comes when we prioritize presence over performance. When we operate from the full assurance of God's love, we no longer flirt with worldly validation or misinterpret rejection when it's not there.

Ready to transform your relationship with rejection? Listen now and discover why rejection isn't failure – it's redirection toward the love that's been waiting for you all along.
