- LIE: I'M NOT WORTH ANYTHING.
- TRUTH: My value is not determined by what others think of me or what I think of myself. My value is determined by how God views me- and I am precious to Him.
- LIE: I NEED TO LEARN TO LOVE MYSELF.
- TRUTH: By faith, I need to receive God's love for me. I naturally love myself; I need to deny myself and let God love others through me.
Romans 5:11
- LIE: I CAN'T HELP THE WAY I AM.
- TRUTH: If I am God's child, I can choose to obey Him. I am responsible for my own choices. God's Spirit can change me.
Romans 6:6-14
- LIE: I HAVE MY RIGHTS.
- TRUTH: Claiming rights will put me in bondage. Yielding rights will set me free.
John 6:38
- LIE: PHYSICAL BEAUTY MATTERS MORE THAN INNER BEAUTY.
- TRUTH: Physical beauty is fleeting. The beauty that matters most to God is the beauty of my inner spirit and character.
1 Timothy 2:10 and Proverbs 31:30
- LIE: I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LIVE WITH UNFULFILLED LONGINGS.
- TRUTH: I will always have unfulfilled longings this side of heaven. The deepest longings of my heart cannot be fulfilled by any person or thing. My unfulfilled longings can help me look forward to heaven.
Hebrews 11:13-16
As we learned previously, a lie believed about ourselves is often due to a misconception about God. When we truly know our maker, we can begin to know ourselves and the wonderful purpose in life He has for us. May you all seek to know your heavenly father more and more so that you can live your life to the full extent that He wishes for you.
Next week, we begin chapter 4: Lies Women Believe About Sin. Our enemy is a mighty foe and a sly deceiver, but our God is far greater, and with His power, we have already won the battle.
