Devotionals
They have you convinced. You're looking where they want you to look and then suddenly out of the blue the picture changes and the impossible appears. It is all in the art of illusion. The skilled illusionist makes you believe that it has to be true.
But what about our thought life. We have been deluded in that area as well. We believe the lies brought to us by another very skilled illusionist. Tell me if any of these sound familiar?
- You're not good with people
- You're hopeless at managing money
- You're too short or too tall
- You're useless at leading a group
- You're too shy to speak in front of a crowd
- You're not the right race, sex or age
- You're too aggressive
- You don't have what it takes
- You simply would not manage
- You have no idea what you're doing
- You'll never succeed at that
At least one or more of those lies may have made you wince, because you've heard them all too often. From people who think they are being 'honest to be kind', people who don't really know the truth about you at all. Well before you blame the people who have said these things to you, take a deep breath and remember that we need to forgive those who have trespassed against us.
The truth is that it is the devil who wants to keep you deceived and not living out your true potential. He is the one behind the lies, the hurt and the pain and he is the one we should be angry with. Yes, maybe it is time to get a little angry, but let's keep that all in perspective. Be angry enough to break free!
There is only ONE truth we need to remember to combat all of these lies:
I CAN do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!!!!!!!
