Today I almost gave in and listened to myself. I found myself thinking
"I am not _______"; you fill in your blank.
The enemy will always remind us what we are not. He will use what we think
about ourselves, our thoughts, to remind us of our fears,
our limitations, our worries, our past. He gives us a measuring
stick of comparison that we use to compare ourselves to others; he uses it to
discourage our hearts from breaking free of all the things that he uses our
thoughts to remind us of.
We have to break the enemies measuring stick and begin speaking Truth to ourselves
by fervently getting in Gods Word. Instead of listening to our thoughts, our
feelings, we must know that Truth beats feelings. The Truth is we are nothing.
Christ is everything you and I cannot be on our own. He is joy. He is peace.
He is forgiveness. He is love. He is life. He is every grain of good in us.
He has never changed, He will never change and he never fails.
He doesn't have favorites and He never makes mistakes.
The Truth is, at the Cross, He broke the measuring stick of our old master and
replaced it with grace upon amazing grace.
How about we grab hold of His grace, friend, and speak Truth into
ourselves not by listening to our feelings, but by listening to His Word.
