Speaking the Truth

Do you ever find yourself in an endless loop of self-disgust or self-hatred, or thinking often about how worthless you are? Maybe you just feel like you are “too much” for those around you – too loud, too opinionated, too stubborn, too bright, too creative, too feminine, too sensitive.

These words come from our past experiences. Most of the time, someone we love or respect once spoke these words to us.

These words have become what we believe about ourselves. And every time we repeat them in our head, we are STRENGTHENING and REINFORCING that belief.

But what if THOSE WORDS ARE WRONG? What if that isn’t what JESUS thinks about us?

Maybe it’s time to jump into God’s Word and find out what He says about us!

Will He say we’re a sinner? You bet!
Will He say we are worthy of hell? Yeah, right again.

But He will ALSO say that He LOVES US SO MUCH He sent His SON to die IN OUR PLACE!

He will say as we think in our heart, so are we; and He will supply all our needs; and that we need to forgive those who sin against us; and that we are His workmanship, created unto good works. 

God’s Word is a stream of living water that washes away all those WRONG thoughts we have about ourselves, and gives us His thoughts about us.

I challenge you to ask Him today, “What do you think about me, Lord?”

The words He speaks to you will be truth.

Romans 8:33-39 – “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
