This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

The more confidence you have, the better you feel about yourself, not in a haughty, prideful way,

the less you will think you're being rejected.

I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

Hey everyone. Rejection is rampant in our culture today. And it's one of the number one tools that Satan uses to keep people from fulfilling the call of God on their life.

It's not a question of if you'll face rejection, but when. And so today, Joyce, Aaron,

our friend Lisa Bevere, and I will continue to give you practical ways on how to handle rejection.

It's a great conversation.

So let's talk it out.

So what are some of the areas that you guys have dealt with rejection or felt rejected?

I mean, I was just thinking it really is a daily battle, I think, because you can... You get rejected every day? All the time. All the time, Joyce. Let's talk about it. No, I think it's that lens of seeing things through rejection. It can easily creep in. And so if I'm in a meeting and I say, I have an idea and someone doesn't like it, I can feel myself say, oh, well, they must think I'm an idiot, or I'm just, I'm not smart enough, so I don't belong here. So I have to quickly say, no, that's just a different opinion. It's okay that we don't go in my idea, that you're not rejecting me as a person, even at home. I mean, it's just like you were saying, too, but Mike cannot agree with my opinion.

That doesn't mean he rejects me as a person.

That means he doesn't like my idea.

So I think it's a daily paying attention to those things.

So it doesn't, like, root inside of your heart and cause bitter.

You know, the more confidence you have, the better you feel about yourself, not in a haughty, prideful way, the less you will think you're being rejected.

Oh, absolutely.

So it really has a lot to do.

The devil can't do that to you as much if you know who you are in Christ.

And I think if you're ever going to get over rejection, you have to get to the point

where you know that if the only person you ever have in your life is God, that you'll

survive.
