Getting Past The Lies

What we will be talking about may seem to you to be something that is geared to teens girls but that simply is not the case. This is something that carries on to adulthood. We are going to talk about the lies society tells us everyday. Here are just some of the lies that society tells us.

1. "You aren't good enough."
2. "You can't do it."
3. "You will never look the way you want to."
4. "You don't do anything right."

Satin loves to use other people to hurt us. He will do anything to make us feel bad ourselves. When we don't like ourselves, how can we be all God made us to be? We can combat the lies though! We need to shift our focus on what God thinks about us and not what other people think. All too often we place our confidence in the hands of other people rather then God. I know I have done this in my own life.

What we forget and hardly think about is that God MADE us, He formed us in our mother's womb. He had all our days laid out before we took our first breath. He knows everything about us and loves us just the same. When we realize this truth and BELIEVE it, everything changes. It becomes more about God and less about us.

Here are some simple things you can do help you not give into the lies.

Read the follow passages and verses in your Bible.

. Psalm 139
. Jeremiah 29:11-13
. 1 Samuel 16:7

Look in the mirror every morning and say one thing that God thinks about you. Say something positive, speak it out so it will stick with you.

Be around people who love and care about you. Don't be around difficult people who to hurt you.

I have a challenge for you this week. We need to help each other do this. We can't do it on our own. We all know people who need God's love shown to them and need help to see how special they are. This week, I encourage you if you know someone who may need a helping hand, send them a card saying you are there for them. Please refrain from doing this by email. It will mean so much being handwritten and be more effective. If you know more then one person "adopt" a person a week who needs a hand.

We can do this, my friend! We can rise above the lies that Satin and the world tell us. It's not easy but we have God on our side. If God is on our side who can be against us? We need to fix our eyes not the world but on God and when we do, that my friends, is when everything changes and where true freedoms begins because we place our identity sorely on Christ.
