  • I was watching anderson's testimony it seemed like
  • 00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:43.654
  • Testimony it seemed like rejection he just kept facing
  • 00:32:43.787 --> 00:32:46.657
  • Rejection he just kept facing rejection after rejection he
  • 00:32:46.790 --> 00:32:47.358
  • Rejection after rejection he was abandoned by his father and
  • 00:32:47.491 --> 00:32:50.561
  • Was abandoned by his father and then by women that he trusted
  • 00:32:50.694 --> 00:32:51.295
  • Then by women that he trusted and loved and therefore he felt
  • 00:32:51.428 --> 00:32:54.665
  • And loved and therefore he felt abandoned and rejected by god.
  • 00:32:54.798 --> 00:32:58.435
  • Abandoned and rejected by god. and so many times we we go
  • 00:32:58.569 --> 00:32:59.603
  • And so many times we we go through things in life and we
  • 00:32:59.737 --> 00:33:02.273
  • Through things in life and we think that that's a
  • 00:33:02.406 --> 00:33:02.840
  • Think that that's a representation of how god
  • 00:33:02.973 --> 00:33:05.743
  • Representation of how god thinks or that's a
  • 00:33:05.876 --> 00:33:06.277
  • Thinks or that's a representation of how god looks
  • 00:33:06.410 --> 00:33:07.011
  • Representation of how god looks at us or how he loves us or
  • 00:33:07.144 --> 00:33:10.014

  • Doesn't love us whatever it is .
  • 00:33:12.716 --> 00:33:12.816
  • . but it was in those moments
  • 00:33:12.950 --> 00:33:13.651
  • But it was in those moments when he cried out to the lord
  • 00:33:13.784 --> 00:33:16.820
  • When he cried out to the lord after he tried to take his own
  • 00:33:16.954 --> 00:33:17.688
  • After he tried to take his own life because he just couldn't
  • 00:33:17.821 --> 00:33:20.591
  • Life because he just couldn't move forward.
  • 00:33:20.724 --> 00:33:21.025
  • Move forward. he couldn't get past the sense
  • 00:33:21.158 --> 00:33:24.028
  • He couldn't get past the sense rejection that he is unloved.
  • 00:33:24.161 --> 00:33:24.795
  • Rejection that he is unloved. he finally cried out to god and
  • 00:33:24.928 --> 00:33:28.165
  • He finally cried out to god and god answered him and he said my
  • 00:33:28.299 --> 00:33:31.635
  • God answered him and he said my son, i'm with you.
  • 00:33:31.769 --> 00:33:32.169
  • Son, i'm with you. he felt the love of his
  • 00:33:32.303 --> 00:33:35.739
  • He felt the love of his heavenly father and he received
  • 00:33:35.873 --> 00:33:39.209
  • Heavenly father and he received and he was transformed by that
  • 00:33:39.343 --> 00:33:40.010
  • And he was transformed by that and i don't know what walking
  • 00:33:40.144 --> 00:33:42.746
  • And i don't know what walking through right now.
  • 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:43.280
  • Through right now. maybe you have also rejection
  • 00:33:43.414 --> 00:33:46.283
  • Maybe you have also rejection after rejection and after
  • 00:33:46.417 --> 00:33:46.950
  • After rejection and after rejection and therefore you
  • 00:33:47.084 --> 00:33:50.421
  • Rejection and therefore you think you have this view, this
  • 00:33:50.554 --> 00:33:54.291
  • Think you have this view, this representation of god that he
  • 00:33:54.425 --> 00:33:55.025
  • Representation of god that he also has rejected.
  • 00:33:55.159 --> 00:33:57.695
  • Also has rejected. but that is the furthest thing
  • 00:33:57.828 --> 00:33:58.595
  • But that is the furthest thing from the truth.
  • 00:33:58.729 --> 00:33:59.063
