I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know
I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know
…When he [Satan] lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
John 8:44 New International Version (NIV)
For you [Lord] created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand — when I awake, I am still with you.
Psalm 139:13-18 (NIV)
How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
Ephesians 1:3-6 The Message (MSG)
You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, oh You say that I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe
WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
Sin makes you love what is foolish while thinking that you’re wise. Sin makes you think you’re capable of what you cannot do. Sin makes you think you’re righteous when really your heart is corrupt. Sin convinces you that you are okay when actually you’re heading for disaster. The Bible lovingly confronts you with everything you are not. It does so in order that you would run after everything you could be. The Bible forces you to face your foolishness and failure so you would run to One who IS wisdom and righteousness, and find your hope in him.
– John Paul Tripp, New Morning Mercies
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28 (NIV)
Who are you going to listen to?
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity
Our identity in Christ is not dependent on anything we do.
It’s dependent on who Jesus is.
God is love.
1 John 4:8 (NIV)
Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feet
You have every failure God, and You’ll have every victory
Who are you going to listen to?
Who are you going to believe?
