I Am Afraid of Rejection

I wish I wasn’t because it prevents me from being myself. I have come across many situations where I want to help others but the fear of being rejected or even talking to them has stopped me. I remember one time an old lady looked cold sorting on a bench outside. My natural instinct was to want to give her my jacket off my back but I was too scared to. Another time I was in the check out lane of a store and the cashier was crying. I wanted to ask her if shes ok and let her know I didn’t know what was wrong but I prayed for her but I was afraid she’d tell me to mind my business or something. I want so much to be the person God made me because I think I’m different in that way. I know fear comes from the devil and I know I have to overcome the fear and discourage he is causing me to feel. I will get there one day.
