The pain of rejection is one of the deepest and most difficult wounds of the soul to deal with and to be treated, with short and long-term consequences.

Becoming the most individualistic and selfish person because they think they can’t count on anyone, isolating themselves, belittling themselves and canceling themselves out.

Science has proven that the pain of rejection causes the same intensity in certain regions of the brain as physical pain. Many people are suffering from rejection in the family, social, professional, sentimental spheres… and there are even those who carry this pain from childhood to adulthood.

When we are born, we know that we will belong to a family group, which will be the basis of our development, our character, the decisions we make…

Human beings need to live in society, not to feel excluded. After all, we were not created to live in isolation!

A person who is rejected throughout their life ends up feeling incapable, thinking that they were born to suffer, that they don’t deserve anything and ending up accepting the condition that they are a useless person, that they don’t like them because the problem must be with them. Depression, self-esteem problems, insecurity… some people spend their entire lives regretting a rejection!

But remember that no one was and is more rejected than God! He understands us, He knows what it’s like to feel the pain of rejection. He knows what it is to do good and receive contempt as a reward.

The Lord Jesus came to this world to redeem all our sins, but did He receive any kind of recognition? None, as there are even those who mock Him. This Jesus who was so despised, to the point of being crucified on the cross, He knows our pain. Therefore, He can take away all the pain from our soul! The world may reject us, but Jesus does not reject us. God gives us value! He seeks out the rejected and helps all those who turn to Him!”
