You don’t see things as they are; you see things as you are, and that shapes every answer here. Our identity drives our perception: “the wicked flee when no one pursues,” not because of what is outside them but because of who they are inside. Most of us can’t see our own identity, like a fish in water, so the first step is asking God to show us how we see ourselves. Childhood shapes us massively, since what we learn in our earliest years forms how we see the world; yet by faith we can declare the old self dead and practise the new identity. Renewing the mind means replacing the deep “scripts” running in the background, engaging with God’s promises through faith and imagination rather than repeating them like a parrot. Rejection runs deep since the fall, and most of us live in the fear of rejection, avoiding places like a dog behind an invisible fence. To overcome insecurity, see it, invite the Lord into it, and step into being the beloved, starting from perfect acceptance as Jesus did. Fear and hope shape our decisions because we live by imagination; when God’s truth sets our beliefs, we live differently.
