Everyone's Rejected You. Here's What That Really Means About Your Worth
You've been thrown away, rejected, called a failure. But what others believe about you and what's actually true about you are two completely different things.
Pastor Ricardo Zaal · Fountain of Grace International, Pretoria North
When everyone has rejected you, does that mean you're actually worthless?

This message is for you if:
- You internalized shame after being rejected by family or fired from work
- You keep hearing voices saying you're useless and starting to believe them
- You reject others harshly but feel guilty doing it
- You need permission to stop accepting what others say defines you
Two Kinds of Rejection
There are two people in this story. One person throws stones at others, writing them off as useless, drunk, worthless, or irredeemable. The other person has been written off and is starting to believe it about themselves. Both need to hear the same truth: rejection by humans is not final, and it is not a true measure of your value.
The person throwing stones often does it from a glass house. You criticize someone for their worst moment while ignoring your own private struggles. You reject someone from your family or your church, not realizing what that rejection actually does to them. That person goes home and drinks not because they are a drunkard, but because the place they thought might accept them just threw them away.
Jesus modeled this in John 8 when the religious crowd wanted to stone a woman caught in adultery. He didn't defend her behavior. He asked who among them had no sin. And as he asked, he probably wrote their names in the sand. The point was not that no one had sinned. The point was that throwing stones while living in a glass house is not justice-it is hypocrisy.
The Lie You Accepted About Yourself
When someone calls you useless, you may have accepted that word as truth. But people only see a closeup view of you. Imagine a camera zooming in on someone's face. The closer it gets, the less you can see of the whole picture. From one foot away, all you see is their face. You cannot see what is behind them, what strengths they have in other areas, what contributions they make where you are not looking.
God sees what pastors call a bird's eye view. From that vantage point, He sees all areas of your life. He knows you are useful somewhere, even if the people who rejected you never looked long enough to find out where. You may show love differently than others. You may have gifts that operate in places those critics never visit. That does not make you useless. It makes you real.
The Scripture is clear in 1 Corinthians 12: 'If the foot should say, Because I'm not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it therefore not be a part of the body?' You were not designed to be a hand. You may be a foot, an ear, an eye. The body of Christ needs all of them. Reject the word that does not align with who you actually are. Say out loud: I am not useless. I am useful in the kingdom of God.
The Toe That Should Have Healed
A man broke his big toe playing sports. It swelled, turned blue, caused him pain. Instead of waiting for antibiotics and anti-inflammatories to work, he demanded the doctor cut it off. He wanted to play his game in three months, and the temporary pain felt unbearable. The doctor warned him, but the man insisted. So the doctor cut it off.
But something went wrong during the healing. An infection spread from where the toe was removed. It infected his leg. Now the doctor asked him, 'Should I cut off your leg too?' The man finally understood: his rush to remove the pain had created a much worse problem. When you reject someone because of a temporary struggle, you may be removing someone the body needs. You may be causing damage far worse than the original wound.
This is what happens in families and churches. Someone is struggling with addiction, divorce, failure, or shame. Instead of bringing them medicine-grace, time, community, healing-you amputate them. You write them off. You tell them they do not belong. And then you wonder why they spiral deeper. The body of Christ is one organism. What you remove in rejection, you rob from yourself.
Your Name Is Written on God's Hand
In Psalm 8, the writer asks: 'Who is man that you have thought about him?' This is the moment of awe. God, who is infinite and high and lifted up, has actually thought about you. Not just thought about you in passing. God wrote your name. Not just wrote it like you write something you might erase. God tattooed your name on the palm of His hand. Isaiah 49:16 says exactly this: 'I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.'
This means your rejection by humans does not erase your identity with God. When God lifts His hands, your name is there. Permanent. Indelible. Known. You are the apple of His eye. You are a peculiar people, set apart by Him, not cast aside. The real question is not whether others see your worth. The question is whether you will accept God's verdict about you or cling to the rejection of people who only saw a closeup view and called it the whole truth.
Everything Pastor Ricardo prophesied in that service points to this single reality: wherever you have been rejected, God will reverse it. Not because you earned it through behavior change alone, though that matters. But because God does not write anyone off. He does not amputate His children because of their struggles. He brings healing. He brings restoration. He brings people back into the palace after they have been thrown into the pit.
What You Do Now Matters
If you have been rejecting others, stop. Do not throw stones from a glass house. Do not write off the corner stone that might be the very thing holding up the whole structure. The drunk person who walks into church might be the one whose testimony saves someone from suicide. The divorced person might be the one who counsels someone through their marriage crisis. The failures are often the ones who can help others stand.
If you have internalized rejection, refuse it. Do not accept the label. Do not live as though other people's closeup view is God's complete perspective. You are more than your worst moment. You are more than your current situation. You are more than their judgment. The infection of shame is killing you because you keep listening to voices that are not God. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 reminds us: there are different gifts, different services, different workings-but the same God works in all. Your gift may not look like theirs. That does not make it inferior. It makes it essential.
This week, make one decision. Decide whose voice you will believe about who you are. Will it be the voice of the critic, the rejector, the person who saw only your flaws? Or will it be the voice of Jesus, who sees everything and still calls you by name, still writes your name on His hand, still refuses to throw you away? That decision will change everything.
"Don't accept what people are telling you about who you are, knowing that you are better than what they are calling you."
- Pastor Ricardo Zaal
Key Takeaways
- Closeup View Versus Bird's Eye View People judge you based only on what they can see up close-your worst moments, your current struggles, your visible flaws. They lack the bird's eye view that only God has. God sees your complete life, your hidden strengths, the places where you are useful even though no one is looking. When someone rejects you based on their limited perspective, they are not pronouncing truth about you. They are admitting they do not have enough information. Stop letting their incomplete view become your complete identity.
- The Body Cannot Function With Amputations In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul explains that the body of Christ needs all its parts-not just the impressive ones, but the ones that seem weak or less honorable. When you reject someone from your family, your church, or your community because of their struggle, you do not just hurt them. You weaken the whole body. The person you write off may have exactly what someone else needs. Healing comes through restoration and community, not rejection and isolation. Before you cut someone off, ask yourself what you might be removing that the whole system depends on.
- God's Verdict Overrides Human Judgment Your name is written on the palm of God's hand-tattooed, permanent, unforgettable. This is not opinion. This is not subject to change based on whether people like you, accept you, or think you are useful. The moment you were created, God decided your worth. It is not earned. It is not lost when you fail. Jesus died on the cross and rose again to prove that failure, shame, rejection, and death do not have the final word. God does. Start believing Him about who you are instead of believing the people who only saw a snapshot and called it your whole story.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my family or church rejected me?
Recognize that their rejection does not erase your value in God's eyes. Jesus Himself was rejected as the cornerstone-the very thing the building needed most. Your rejection may reveal their blindness, not your worthlessness. Find community with people who see your whole picture, not just your flaws. Pursue healing and restoration, not isolation. And ask yourself: have you rejected yourself? Because if you have, that is the voice you need to challenge first. God has not rejected you. Stop accepting others' rejection as final.
How do I stop believing the negative things people say about me?
People see only a closeup view of you. They cannot see what you are good at in areas they do not observe. They cannot see your heart, your growth, or your potential. When someone calls you useless, remind yourself that usefulness is not a universal measure-it depends on the context and the observer. More importantly, Jesus calls you the apple of His eye. Your name is written on His hand. Start measuring yourself by what Jesus says about you, not by what people who only saw one bad moment say about you. Reject any word about yourself that does not align with who Jesus says you are.
Is it wrong to reject someone who is struggling or has hurt me?
There is a difference between setting a boundary and writing someone off. A boundary protects you from ongoing harm. Writing someone off means amputating them from your life permanently. In the parable of the toe, the man cut off his toe because of temporary pain-and it caused far worse damage. Ask yourself: Is this person in a season of struggle that could heal with medicine (grace, time, support), or are they a genuine ongoing threat? A person who is drunk might be drowning because the church rejected them. A person who failed might need restoration, not rejection. Judge carefully and sparingly. Remember that you live in a glass house too.

God He is God, He is God, He is God Because there is no other God like Him Because every other God is dead Every other God is in the grave Every other God is just mere clay Every other God is just

you Jesus Now this morning I want to bring you a Something that comes from my heart That has always been my motto And I want to share a story with you Now the story might come through It might be something that was wrong Or that was not done correctly But I shared a story about a donkey once Who was thrown away Because of the family just throwing away In the ditch And the donkey managed every time they throw up So it managed to grow up But this morning I want to tell you a story About somebody Somebody who was thrown away Somebody who was taken afar So as a person, as someone who has been thrown away Now someone who has been thrown away Is a rejected person As someone who has been rejected So when somebody is rejected Your people has thrown them away So I want to speak to the person That threw people away Don't just throw them away Because I mean because of me I was thrown away from my family today Because of myself I was thrown away from my work I was thrown away But I want to speak this morning With that one Because of his family He was thrown away But I just want to ask The person that says Why do you throw your own life away? For the English people I want to say this way That when you say to somebody You are busy throwing away your life This is the person that I'm talking to this morning The one that says to somebody Hey Why is it every time that When I see you You are like this When I see you You are like that This morning I want to speak to somebody this morning Understanding that There's two kind of people That I want to talk to this morning I want to speak to the one person That is saying Maraye, why do you throw away your life? Number one So the first person, number one Is telling somebody You are throwing your life away Then the second person I want to speak to Is the one that is spoken to The one that is spoken to So the one that is spoken to I want to speak to that person That says Every time whenever somebody says Hey, why do you throw away your life? I don't want to throw away my life I don't want to So I want to speak to that person That every time when somebody says to him or her Hey, but you can throw your life away Then the person comes back and says Ah, but this is my life You don't have a say in my life Just go, just be whoever you want to be Just leave me, let me be So when I speak to these two people I want to ask in this two people's life Whenever somebody is throwing stones at you Are they actually looking And see that they are living in a glass house or not? So the reason why I'm asking this question is that Look at it this way Whenever you go to a person And every time you give them Mere negative words Every negative word speaking into the person's life Is something that the devil is taking And take that message into the person's ears And whenever they listen to that They kept on saying They keep on saying to me I'm useless I'm a nobody I am a drunkard I am a Somebody who can't think I'm dumb I'm stupid, I'm not clever All these words whenever you say to the person Did you ever think what it does to that person? Because this morning I want to speak to you I want to ask you nicely Have you ever think Of the person that you wrote off? Whenever that person has been written off by men Did you ask did God write off that person as well? Come on I want you to answer the question And answer the question nicely Answer the question within yourself And say Whenever I wrote off that child of mine I said to that child You wrote off that child to say I don't want you in my house anymore But did you ask the question Did God write off the same person? Or is it only your feelings And how you see That is written the people off at the time? This morning I want to speak to you and ask you Have you ever think That you might have been the one That caused that person's death? Are you the one that causes that person's death? Because by written By you being written off a lot of people A lot of people are sitting on the street Not knowing where to go Not knowing what to do Because you have written off the person So this morning I want to come and speak to you One and one and say to you You remember the day when you said to that person You are just a mere drunkard And every time whenever the person is taking up a beer bottle They say You said I'm a drunkard let me show him how I can drink So this morning I want to speak to that person I want you to take up your own life And throw the stone at the one that doesn't have anything I want you this morning to take up your own life Take an introspection into your life And ask yourself If there would have been somebody who has at fault Who can throw the first stone? Because this morning I want to ask you My question is I want to ask you How can you say that other people have grown away Because of what you went through in their lives? But have you noticed that the same person That you wrote off Somebody is loving that person so much That they are actually the ones that take care of them Now I want to speak to a specific group of people A specific group of people Now the specific group of people I want to speak to this morning Or I want to speak about this morning Is a group of people that is calling themselves Church people So I want to speak to that church people Come on church people are you in the house? Are you in the house church people? I want to speak to you as a church person People of the church You killed so many people So many people that actually Was about to go to heaven But because of the things that you've said Because of the things that you've said They're no longer in church Come on let me Let me step on your toes Let me step on your toes You remember the day When you opened the church door And somebody came in there Smelling like booze You have to say to that person You said in fact you said to the person Have any respect for the Isfany Yere How can you drink in the Isfany Yere Don't you have respect for the house of the Lord Why are you coming in here drunk But you forget that It is actually God that says The same thing the day when he said it That I have come for the lost I came for the lost I have not come for those 99 That is with me I came for the one that ran away So this morning I want to ask you People of the church Why do you reject people Based upon what they have been going through Or what they are going through Because that same person is the one That actually went to drink last night For a reason not knowing Where to go next Because the church keep on rejecting him The church keep on rejecting her The church is the ones that is supposed to When I go through problem I have to go to the feet of Jesus And say Jesus, Jesus I can't take it anymore But because of the people of the church They are the ones that is actually Chasing them away Because they don't feel like To go to church and keep their issues Through in church So this morning I want to speak to you Why are you rejecting somebody While they have not rejected themselves As yet Because it's no use of you Throwing stones While you are sitting in a glass house Why are you sitting in a glass house Why are you throwing stones Because when you throw stones You don't remember that Jesus was saying That whilst he was writing in the scent He probably wrote in the scent While they were standing there He said to them He said to them Those who doesn't have any sin Cast the first stone And as he was writing He probably wrote your name He said, Quasi, do you remember That last night when you were sitting at home You were thinking that this and that I'm not going to say what you were thinking I'm not going to say what you were doing I'm not going to say what happened Whilst other people were not there But God said, throw the stone And why didn't you throw the stone That is my question Why don't you throw the stone Because you know that you are not God And you are not perfect So this morning I want to ask you nicely That if ever you feel that I can throw a stone And no stone will come back to me Because everybody that has sin Let them cast the stone So this morning I want to ask you this way If you have thrown the stone Because you realize that This morning I don't have any sin Then I want to speak to you Come on God Come on God Because God is the only one That has no fault at all God is the only one that can actually Take up that stone and throw it So this morning I want to ask you nicely Have you even think Have you ever even think about The pain that you caused somebody While you were supposed to bring healing Enough about this Of speaking about the church people Let me speak to the one that is spoken to Because when I speak to the one that is spoken to Have you already write yourself off Because this is the case that What happens is that Whenever you write yourself off You accept the fiery guts of the devil That has been thrown to you Because when you look at your own life How people are seeing you through their eyes It's not the same eyes that God sees you through It's not the same eyes that you see yourself through Because you know that you are better Than what your current situation is So therefore I want to speak to you this morning I want to say to you that As you have been said As somebody has been saying to you You useless Did you know that you are useful In another area of life Because people only have a close up view to you Let me explain it to you this way By using the means of the camera For those of you that is here I want you to understand To look at it this way If I come closer to you This is a person Whatever is behind this hand This hand If this is a person The closer this hand is coming to this person The more you can't see behind the hand This is how people are seeing you So I want you to look at it this way When I come closer to this camera For those of you that sits here When I come closer to you The only thing that you can see Is my face But when I move back and ask you What is behind me You can't see So therefore when I move away from you Is only time whenever you can I can see what we call a bird's eye view Is the only time I can see a bird's eye view Come on Jesus, come on Jesus Come on Jesus Come on Jesus So whenever you are speaking to somebody Or whenever somebody is speaking to you Did they only see the thing that they saw But have not been seeing the bird's eye view of God Because whenever God sees from the top He sees all areas of your life But you as a person Knowing that I am better in this area I might not show affection when I love Like the way you come on And keep on holding and hugging and kissing I might be showing it in a different way By leaving you a piece of rose Just now and then But I don't kiss you like the others are kissing you Does it not show the same That I still love you as well Do you show the same love to your wife As the one that you show to your kids You cannot be showing the same kind of love To your wife as the same as your kids Because if I can tell you now For argument's sake Do you French kiss your kids How no How no You cannot do the same way to your kids The way you love your wife That's not the right way to showing it So why do you accept Whenever they say to you You are useless Knowing that you are useful in another area Don't accept whatever people are telling you Don't accept whenever people are saying to you Who you are Knowing that you are better than what they are calling you So this morning I want you to know I am not finished writing You cannot throw me away I don't throw myself away It is for a reason that I throw myself away For a reason that Whenever I sit with other people Then I want I don't want them to know what is my strong side My strong points My weak points they always see They always see my weak points They always see my weak points They always see my weak points They always see my weak points But have you ever asked the question What about my strong points Have you not seen it Because this morning I saw you Because this morning I speak to you That has been leaving them To say the words to you You are not a useless person You are a useful person You might have seen drunk the other day But whenever the Spirit of God is coming upon you You shall be going out And spread the word So this morning I want to speak to you And say to you That it's no use of you Saying or keep on saying That I am useless Come on, come on, come on I want to speak to that person I want to speak to that person That is actually saying to you These words So this morning I want to speak to you This morning and I want to say to you That whenever somebody is giving you A word That is not in congruence In congruency with who you are Whenever somebody is speaking to you A word That is not in congruence In congruency with who you are Whenever somebody is speaking to you a word and is not incongruent with who you are, reject the word, reject it, reject it, reject it. Say, I am not a useless, I am useful in the kingdom of God. I'm not useless, I'm useful wherever I go. People see my worth, people see my worth. People see my worth. So why are you calling yourself what they are calling you? Have you not realized God is calling you that you are the apple of His eyes? Have you not noticed it even, that God is calling you the apple of His eye? I'm not going to leave you. I'm not going to leave you. I'm not throwing me away. I'm not throwing me, I'm not rejecting myself. I don't write myself off. I'm just going through a situation because this is what happened. Whenever somebody is going through certain things, it is better for them to be at the feet of Jesus. Because being at the feet of Jesus is actually where things are starting to change. Changing, things is changing. Things is changing. When the Lord is coming in faith, everything will change. Lord, I want to speak to you this morning. Basically, I want to speak to you this morning. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, I want to speak to you this morning. I want to speak to you this morning. As a mere person, the thought, life has bring me down because of what others are saying. Others have rejected me, but God has not been rejecting me this morning. God has not been rejecting me this morning. God has given me everything concerning life. Well, First, I want to read a scripture for you. No, no, no, before I read the scripture, Let me give you let me give you a let me explain a story to you now when I tell you the story once once upon a time there was a guy who was very active when I say active I'm talking about somebody who is very good in sports so whenever he speak he will be on the field playing soccer if it's rugby he's there if it's whatever is there then one day it so much that he kicked a ball and while he was kicking the ball his big toe broke and the toe started swelling and because the toe is starting to swell it become blue like literally literally blue blue and the swelling makes him not to be able to put on his shoes so as he was actually walking without shoes one day he said but I can't take this anymore this toe has been giving me so many problems I want to take it out so what he does he went to the doctor and said to the doctor doctor it's been for too long that this toe has been swollen like this please cut it off so that I can go back to my sports and the doctor is saying to him but this is just a small matter you just have to drink your antibiotics antibiotics you just have to keep on using anti-inflammatories it will heal one day the guy thinking of him going to have a game within the next let's say three months just making an example it might be shorter time he decided no doctor cut off my toe cut off my toe and the doctor not being able to say anything because it is this guy's own life he decided let me listen to this guy let me take off this toe that has been bothering this guy so much but going against the doctor's values the doctor keep on saying remember I if I cut off this you won't be able to do certain things please let us just wait for another month or two the guy being adamant cut it off cut it off in cutting off the toe something went wrong and the guy being a player not a let's say a sport active person the the toe has not been healing as yet so he decided he's going to keep on practicing practicing practicing and in the practice something happened that he actually got an infection that is starting to spread in his leg okay thank you so as the infection spread in his leg it tend to give his leg a problem so he went to the doctor and asked the doctor doctor what is happening now my leg is turning so blue the first thing the doctor is saying saying to him so should I cut it off as well and the doctor waited the doctor waited for the answer he wait he wait he wait and he wait the guy sitting there saying to himself that your sorry what is the same thing happened that happened to my toe I just wanted to cut off the toe I just wanted to cut off the pain that was there I just wanted to cut off the infection that was there and I caused us another infection the immediate thing is to him to say back to the doctor doctor no what if he can heal this is how you and a person is going through life making decisions upon somebody else's life do you not know that you are the body of christ I'm going to my scripture in in in second in first Corinthians now now in first Corinthians it says it this way now about the spiritual gifts the special endowments of spiritual of supernatural energy present I do not want you to be misinformed you know that when you were hidden you were led off other idols and could not speak habitually as impulse directed and whenever the occasion might arise therefore I want you to understand that no one speak under the power and influence of the holy spirit of god can ever say jesus because and no one can really say jesus my lord except by and under the power of an influence of the holy spirit so no one can say jesus now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments give extra ordinary power distinguish certain christians due to the power of divine grace and operation in their soul by the holy spirit and they were right but the holy spirit remains the same and there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration but it is the same lord himself or who is served so the same things that you are rejecting is the same thing that god is using do you know something that if somebody comes into your church the person walked through areas that you might not be walking to you cannot reach there and therefore it is imperative to understand that this morning if you are a person that judge others just know that you cannot judge somebody unless you look into your life and show perfection into your life because the bible says it so nicely going on in the same scripture first Corinthians 12 coming um let's sorry let's let's let's go to 19 but if if the whole were all single organ where would the body be okay let me go a little bit back let me go back to 12 verse 14 verse 14 for the body does not consist of one or organ but of many if the food should say because i'm not the hand i do not belong to the body would it be therefore not a part of the body if the ears should say because i'm not the eye i do not belong to the body would it would it be therefore not a part of the body if the whole body were an eye where would the sense come off so do you understand what i'm trying to bring out this morning that you as a mere person cannot judge another in the body of christ because the same sinner that you saw this morning walk into your church being drunk is the same person that have a connection somewhere that might have cost your church to move to a greater height because you rejected the cornerstone because you rejected the cornerstone jesus was the perfect example of a cornerstone that has

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I just want to thank you for a time like this this morning, Father God, where you have been given us the authority to know, Father God, that each and every body of Christ is needed in our lives, Father God. Each and everyone that feel like they have been rejected, Father God, I thank you for accepting them. Heavenly Father, I pray that this morning, as we are standing here, Father God, let your Holy Spirit be the one that is evident in somebody's life this morning. May the change of God be seen in their lives, Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. This morning, Father God, everywhere we go, Father God, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, let your word that is saying that we are accepted this morning, that we move beyond where you want us to be, Father God. I pray this morning that you will just lift us up in this week, Father God. Wherever we go, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, just be the one that goes in front of us, Father God, because we know that wherever you go, Father God, you will change lives, Father God. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, you are God and no man that you should lie, Father God. So we stand upon your word this morning, your word that is yea, your word that is amen. Nothing can be added, nothing can be taken away, Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior this morning. I pray, O Lord, that everywhere we go, Father God, we know that you will be the one that will be seen in our lives this morning. In the mighty name of Jesus, so Heavenly Father, as we come to an end of a service where we know, Father God, that you have been the one that has implemented this, Father God, so that we can be seen not just as mere men, but what you have called us to be, Father God. You have called us to be an apple of your eye, Father God, so therefore let us be the apple of your eye, Father God. You have called us to be a peculiar people, Father God, so I want you to take that from us and let us be the peculiar people that you have set us to be, Father God. This morning I pray, Father God, because you said it so nicely in Psalm 8, who is man that you have think about him, Father God. Father God, this morning as you were thinking about us, Father God, I thank you for that in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior this morning, Father God. As you were saying it, Father God, that you wrote our names in the palm of your hand, not just wrote, but it was tattooed, never to be removed, Father God. So therefore I pray this morning, Father God, where you have written our names on your hand, Father God, let people know that when you lift up your hands, they can see our names there in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. This morning I pray for everyone that has been listening to this in the name of Jesus. Everybody that will still be listening to this, Father God, give them a touch from your hand that our names have been written on, Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Touch them, Father God, from the head to the soles of their feet, Father God, touch them in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. For those who doesn't know you, Father God, I pray this prayer this morning for those who want to give their hearts to the Lord this morning, who want to say I accept you as the Lord and Savior. I pray this morning that their names will be written in the book of life wherever they have sinned, Father God. I ask for forgiveness for their sins, Father God, so that they can stand pure before you, Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. This morning I also pray, Father God, for those that said, but I have been with the Lord for a lot of times, but I tend to go back. But I pray also, Father God, for eternal round for them to see you, Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. This morning also I want to pray for the broken of heart that, Father God, heal them in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I also want to pray a lot this morning that everywhere somebody goes and they feel that they are not welcome in a place, Father God, let them know their word to know that they don't need to be there if it is not in your world, Father God. In the name of Jesus, remove them from a place that you don't want them to be. Remove them from a place that they also feel like it's not the right place to be in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I come now, Father God, and I bring this service back to you now, Father God. You have given this service to us. I put it back into your hands. You said your words will not come back void. So therefore, as your word went out, Father God, touch those hands, touch those hearts, touch those minds, touch those feet that has been listening to your word. And anyone that will ever listen to this word, Father God, let this word go out forth for what has been said to be done in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
