I'm reading this book about the lies women tell themselves. It is information that I already know but need to read over and over again until I remember that I need to forget that I already know the information. Sometimes we can know the truth so well that we are easily susceptible to forgetting it and believing a lie that is told to us.
Yes, I know I am fearfully (carefully) and wonderfully (exquisitely) created by God the Creator, but as life goes on, I have moments, even days where the truth that I know is in far distant past and I'm living with the inevitable present of a lie. The Enemy of our Souls comes only but to steal, kill, and destroy every good thing God created. And do you not remember your Creation story where God said that humans were created good. Innately, we are good. Inherently, we are good. So, if we dispel the lie that the Enemy brings to us that says we are not good, we can walk continuously with our heads held high in victory and not low in shame.
I work with a bunch of girls in my church's youth group. Oh the lies that I am pretty sure they hear: You're not smart enough, You're not pretty enough, Athletic enough, Girly enough, enough, enough, enough. I am sure they hear it because I heard it when I was a pre-teen and a teen. I hear it now. But the truth WILL set us free...if we let it.
See that Scripture should have at the end, "...if we let it." The Truth will always be the truth but if we don't apply it, it will not act and set us free.
Yesterday, I meditated on Courage. It takes courage to believe and act upon the Truth. God's Word gives us the Truth that will set us free and living the abundant lives we are supposed to. Will you continue on the Journey with me and believe the truth instead of the lies?
Love you,
Rellia
