“Make sure no outsider who now follows God ever has occasion to say, ‘God put me in second-class.  I don’t really belong.’ And make sure no physically mutilated person is ever made to think, ‘I’m damaged goods. I don’t really belong.” Isaiah 56:3 (MSG)
Being rejected by a parent—mother or father—can open the door for us to reject ourselves.  Perhaps there is a sense that if they could not love and care for, and about us, and they are our parents who knew us, and gave birth to us, then there must be something really wrong—for they are always right. But it isn’t right dear heart, and it couldn’t be further from the truth.  
 
When they rejected you, it was a sign of their brokenness, not yours. When we come into agreement with those lies, we come into agreement with their brokenness. We pick it up and begin our own journey of carrying their pain that leads to no where good. 
 
Listen instead to the words of Your Heavenly Father—the One Who tells you the truth and can never lie. You belong. Listen still to the One Who promises that even if your father or mother forsake you—He will pick you up. You are completely accepted in Him and you are His.  He is your Father and you are His family.  His great love cancels out every other rejection, every loss, every torment, all the wounding and pain.
 
There is no second-class citizen for you chosen one, you are “accepted in the beloved” and “highly favoured” of God. You are perfectly lovely, and you are deeply loved!
