Lies! They are lies!This week has been one where a bunch of really hard ,great truths have been thrown in my face over and over again! Clearly I’m suppose to pick some of that information up to allow in and adopt as truth. But that alone takes work to allow yourself to believe! I’ve seen multiple times this week how I’ve believed lies about myself and have aloud that belief of lies to dictate decisions. Ughh..just to be shown that was a sucker punch to my gut. But the lies that I’ve believed have ran so deep, it’s like I adopted them as my character. It took having two retreats and a hard class session on shame all this week,to break down that wall of lies staring me in the face.
So instead of giving any glory to lies I’m stating truth! I’m declaring I’am enough. I’am worth receiving what God has for me, because he says so not due to anything I do. I’am not trying to write this blog to prove these things,but to highlight that we all struggle with false identity. Seeing truth and speaking it over yourself is more important than seeing the lie.Allowing ourselves to believe things about ourselves that are not true affects us as humans.Whether it’s believing lies that have been spoke over us so long we don’t realize they are lies, to ignoring who we truly are because we are unsure if we would actually gain acceptance if people knew the truth. Struggling with both of those last two statements I’m learning acceptance is only genuine if it’s for who we are are. If you are being accepted for doing or being someone your not it’s not acceptance. The thing with acceptance is we all desire this and I believe it’s part of our human design to long to be accepted. But there is this boundary when it drives you to do things for acceptance and we lose our identity of who we truly are in that midst. Yep, guilty of the following. But the cool thing is allowing who you are, your desires, passions and beliefs to burst through and still see acceptance and love is always there. Maybe not by all the people around you,but it’s always there by my Heavenly Father and he provides people around me who truly accept and challenge me.
Now there is this thing with acceptance of knowing if your not being accepted or just being challenged in growth. When one truly cares they don’t leave you alone in your pain or lies but states truth and challenges your own belief to see your true identity. I hope your able to be yourself freely in all you do! Just some thoughts scrambling through my head lately that I’m processing in life.
