What are the lies I believe in??
• I am not beautiful enough.
• I am not valued.
• I am not treasured.
• I am not trusted.
• I am not worth investing in.
• I am not kind to others.
• I am not making any sort of difference.
• I am not desired.
What are the benefits to believing these lies??
If I believe I am not beautiful, not valued, not treasured, not trusted, not worth investing in, not kind to others, not making any sort of a difference, not desired, then I am believing a LIE from the deepest pit! These do not benefit me! They break me down and hold me captive to this deception! I am held back from doing what I desire most … serve Him.

These do not benefit me! They break me down and hold me captive to this deception! I am held back from doing what I desire most … serve Him.
When these falsehoods creep in, they begin to rot my passion. I allow myself to cave into the idea that I am worthless and a sad shell of a human. I am almost convinced at times that I really AM the lowest of the low and nothing could redeem me, no act could cleanse me and no person could ever think about the distant possibility of wanting me. When I believe these fallacies, I hurt the one who is consistently my steadfast shelter. This doubt clings to me and reminds me of who I could be had I not been plucked out of my disgusting state.
But I have been made new! I have a new name! I really am beautiful, valued, treasured, trusted, worthy of investment, kind, desired and because I believe these truths, I am making a difference. Since beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I’m stunning to Him.
What is the truth??
• I am made in His image. I even have a sense of humor.
• I am a pearl of great price and everything was risked for the slightest chance to win my heart.
• I am held in His hand every day and nothing will rip me from Him.
• I am trustworthy and God uses me to speak to others by encouraging, gently correcting and loving them.
• I am a pretty big deal! I only know a few men that would give everything for me. I haven’t met a single one that didn’t know me and went to Hell and back just to know me.
• The Fruit of the Spirit can be seen in the way I treat people and how I speak.
• I may not always hear how I am encouraging people, but God will turn everything I do for Him into good.
• I am always welcome in His arms and he longs for me like no other.
o “For You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
• Psalm 139:13-14
o “Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”
• Matthew 13:44-45
o “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.”
• Galatians 5:22-26
