Embrace the Truth

So many times I get tricked into believing the lies planted by Satan. So many times I get wrapped up in his lies that I forget to embrace the real truth. 

Satan tries to get me to believe that I fall short. That I’m not good enough, not pretty enough, not extraverted enough, not strong enough, not brave enough, not smart enough, that I’m not enough.

But God tells me the real truth, that I am enough. I’m enough for Jesus to come down to this earth and die on the cross for my sins.

Dear those of us who want to embrace the truth,

YOU are good enough.

Because…God wouldn’t have opened this door if you weren’t ready.

YOU are beautiful.

Because… you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14

YOU are unique.

Because… God didn’t make any of us the same. No matter the personalities, you are made to be YOU.

YOU are strong.

Because… you won't give up, and you will rely on God’s strength.

YOU are brave.

Because… you obey and put your trust in God.

YOU are smart.

Because… God has given you a very detailed and complex mind.

YOU are enough.

Because… God’s love makes you enough!

YOU are chosen by your loving Heavenly Father. You are enough, and don’t ever believe otherwise! 

Whenever you feel your self image plummeting and know that Satan is trying to make you believe the lies, a good exercise is this: 

I am____. 

Because…____.

It is up to us to choose NOT to listen to the lies, but instead to embrace the truth! 

I’ve made three fun designs as reminders. Feel free to take a picture of your favorite design to use as your screensaver, or print them off and put them around your house so that you can be reminded that you are enough!
