Today, I’m taking a break from the Indescribable snippets to bring you this! I imagined this conversation happening in my head the other night and couldn’t help but write it down so I could post it! So, here are lies we tell ourselves and what God really says about us (with scripture to back it up)
Us: I hate myself
God: I love you so much (John 15:13)
Us: all I can see is failure
God: All I see is success (Jeremiah 29:11)
Us: all I see is death
God: There is life behind it all (Job 33:4)
Us: I’m so stupid
God: In Me, you are wise. (James 1:5)
Us: no one cares about me
God: I do (Matthew 6:26, 10:29-31)
Us: I’m all alone
God: I’ve always been here and always will be (Psalm 145:18)
Us: I’m so sinful
God: my grace covers it all and more (1 John 1:9)
Us: I always say the wrong thing
God: I will guide your words if you ask (Exodus 4:12)
Us: I can’t make it through the day
God: I will give you strength (Isaiah 41:10)
Us: I’m tired
God: In me you can have rest (Psalm 23:2)
Us: this world is chaos
God: I have overcome this world and life will get better (John 16:33)
Us: life is meaningless
God: I created everything for a purpose (Jeremiah 32:19)
Us: I’m bad at everything
God: you are so creative because you are made in my image (Genesis 1:26)
Us: every promise is broken
God: have I ever broken a promise I have made? (Genesis 28:16)
