Rejection is rooted in the fear of man. Fear of man causes you to want the acceptance from man. And rejection is when you fear that someone will not accept you. Once the fear of man is removed from you, then rejection will lose its power over you. You are supposed to only fear God. You are supposed to only seek God’s acceptance, not man’s. If a person only desires the approval of God, then rejection would have no effect on that person. Manipulation and controlling people would no longer have any effect on that person either.
