I am doing the study Lies Young Women Believe with a lady from my church. Last night, I felt a huge slap on the face from God at bible study. We were talking about the lies I struggle with. Believing lies is a sin. I am letting satan overtake me when God wants all of me, not just part of me. She said, when you believe those lies, you are telling God that he messed up. I never thought of it that way, so it really hit me last night. Part of Genesis 1:27 says, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him...," and in Psalm 139 it says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God did not mess up. It's from satan that I am choosing to believe those lies. The creator of the universe created us. How awesome is that?! The same God that created the oceans, created you and I. God wants us to look at others and say they're beautiful because we are all created in his image. It's hard when you may not like someone, but God also calls us to love our enemies (that's another barrel of monkeys). To overcome listening to satan, I have a choice to make. I can either sit around and think I'm ugly and worthless, or I can replace the thoughts from satan with truth from God’s word. We need to put on the armor of God to protect us because we can't do it on our own. God is with us every step of the way, and he promised in his word that he will NEVER leave or forsake us. What an awesome God we serve!
I know this post may seem all over the place, but basically, God did not make any mistakes when he created us. He has a purpose for each and every one of us. Philippians 1:6 proves this. It says, "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
