Rescue from Rejection Quotes

“Even as Christians, we find we have subconsciously assumed that the character of God the Father is not far different from that which has been demonstrated by our own parents, especially our earthly father. This affects our ability to accept God for who He is and that He wants to give us His healing love. Put simply, past experiences limit our ability to know Him and receive what we need from Him.”
― Denise Cross, Rescue from Rejection

“Is there any hope of rescue? How could those barriers to the flow of God’s acceptance be taken down? God hadn’t changed, but somehow they didn’t know and couldn’t feel His unchanging love and delight in them anymore. They had lost that wonderful and life-giving assurance of unconditional acceptance. Rejection had infected them, and their once-perfect relationship was now severely strained. What was needed was an exchange, a return to the warmth of acceptance in place of the pain of rejection, and a reinstatement of the open relationship with God which would bring back true security. A renewed potential for living in relationships of unconditional acceptance might then be possible.”
