Lies Versus Truth

Lies Versus Truth

1. You were told that you were worthless. Jesus considers you valuable even to pay His very own life for you on a cross.

2. You were told that you would never amount to anything. God can use you to accomplish great things. Look at Apostle Paul who murdered Christians before coming to know Christ. God used Paul in mighty ways, He can use you too.

3. You were told that you were stupid and dumb. God gave you the wisdom He desired you to have and that is sufficient for the work God will use you for.

4. You were told that you were a nobody or were treated that way. God created you in His image. That makes you very special to God.

5. You were told that you are dirt and were treated that way. In Genesis, God saw that He created you and said that you were good.

6. You were told that you don't mean anything. You were fearfully and wonderfully made by God. See Psalm 139. You mean a lot to God.

7. You were told that nothing good can come from you or that you don't matter or you may have been told that the world is better off without you. You have influenced many lives. How many people would have no one if they did not have you? What if your one act of kindness changed someone's life forever? Your love and kindness towards others will change many lives and will have a significant effect on the world.

8. You were told that no one could love you. God loves you even to give His only Son for you. Nothing can separate you from God's love. God created you to be loved. Those who do not love you have sinned against God.

9. You were told that there was something wrong with you. God created you to be unique and different. No 2 people are the same. God created your emotions and He created your personality. You have nothing to be ashamed of for how God created you to be. There is nothing wrong with you as a person. The only thing that creates problems is sin. Repent of any known sin and accept Jesus as you Lord and Savior and through the Holy Spirit of God, you are a new creation.

10. You were told that you will never accomplish anything good. Your faith in God and your love, kindness and compassion toward others has already accomplished much good whether you have seen it or not.

11. You were mistreated. Those who mistreated you has also mistreated God. What you have done to others you have done to God. See Matt. 25:31-46 I will hope and pray that you will be encouraged by this post. I love you all.
