Let’s face it, we've all been lied about, accused of things, wounded, and stabbed in the back by those closest to us or maybe by people who don't know us at all.
In sorts, I've been spit upon, trampled down, and ripped to shreds in ways I never would've imagined possible. Completely crushed and almost defeated as lies and betrayal consumed my life. But I've also been challenged to forgive, strengthened by faith, and found redemption in hopeless situations. I serve a mighty God!
Still, even though I knew the lies planted about me weren't true, I've been guilty of living as a victim in their filth. Saying I've found forgiveness for the wrongs done by others, but continuing to allow hurt to once again settle on my heart.
I'm so tired, so tired of living in these lies. Tired of living this life of a victim by allowing the past to surface and bring pain. I pray that the Lord help me to remember that they were just lies, that I'm not really the person they've rumored me to be.
The devil wants me to believe that I’m a horrible person, but God says I'm a precious and beloved Daughter of the Most High! Therefore, I will stop being worried about what the world thinks of me and remember who God says I am.
The lies of this world can only affect us when we begin to believe them.
So from now on, I choose to live in truth! I know who I am, I know my heart, and I know I serve a God who is so much greater than the lies of this world!
What do you choose to live in?
This post was not intended for pity nor to vent any bitterness, but to open up my heart with you all about the secrets buried deepest in my heart as I continue to find truth and healing through our Savior.
