Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Thursday August 29th.

Today's podcast brings encouragement for believers who constantly battle with feelings of rejection.

Stay with us and learn to find healing for your damaged emotions.

Rejection is probably the most painful of all the emotions.

And the truth is all of us have been rejected either by somebody or some group or something

at some point in life.

And so the question is, how did you respond? And if I should ask you, well, did that

rejection bother you? Do you ever think about it? No, it doesn't bother me. I never think

about it much. But let me just correct that

it does bother you until a person recognizes the presence of rejection in their life

and discovers the source of it and deals with it it will bother you all

of your life and so I want us to think about some general causes why do people feel

reject them sometimes it's physical defects.

For example, if I had some physical defect, it can be because of how tall you are, how short you

are, how thin you are, how fat you are, what you think you look in the

mirror and you think, well, who am I and why would anybody want to marry me?

And on and on it goes.

Sometimes it's physical defects, but sometimes they're imagined.

And so it's a powerful, powerful situation in a person's life

when they can't get beyond that. Of course one of those causes, one of the primary

causes is deep emotional hurt from the past. It can be a father or a mother. It can be a child,

and it can be a friend, whoever it might be, deep hurts of the past.
