Haunted House: Fear Of Rejection

The fear of rejection is something that most of us encounter
through different seasons of life. We have a need to be liked,
loved, and wanted. And in and of itself, there is nothing wrong
with this desire, but the problem comes when the fear of others
matters more to us than what God thinks. We want to follow God,
but as soon as it begins to cost us social status or hinders the
pursuits of our career, we bail. We’ve all seen negative things
happen to other people and we chose to not do anything because we
didn’t want the negative attention focused towards us. But this
fear will be a stumbling block for us becoming the person God
intended us to be. This week, we look at two things that can help
change our perspective and recenter our focus on the life God is
asking us to live.
