Man, is created in the image of God and so he is relational. His basic needs are met through love and communication. When rejection, which is a deep bruise, enters; the person is denied love, security, acceptance, identity and recognition. He is no longer capable of loving or receiving love. The result is crippling and destructive to one’s total person. There is a correlation between the degree of rejection and its effect on the person. This kind f deep bruising can only be truly healed in finding identity in Jesus Christ.
