The line: I don’t want you becomes the label you aren’t accepted. The label: You aren’t accepted becomes the lie you aren’t worthy. The lie: You aren’t worthy becomes a script of self-rejection. And it unleashes suspicion, doubt, hesitancy, and many other liabilities that hinder present relationships. We project the lines of rejection we heard from our past on others and hold them accountable for words they never said. And worst of all, we catch ourselves wondering if God secretly agrees with those who hurt us.
