All around me are voices, they are scattered throughout my day. Some are from a verbal conversation, others are not so subtle posts, and then there are the voices that carry on all day long. Voices that tell me I am a problem, voices that tell me I am not well, voices that contradict, that overstep, that cloud... voices that tell me there is no hope, that there is no use believing...this is a distraction. The enemy is prowling. He seeks to destroy. And he is certainly not above using those who (claim) to love Jesus.
Praise God that his is the only voice that matters! He tells me I am loved, and I know that I am loved (Proverbs 8:17). He tells me that I am forgiven, and I know that I am forgiven (1 John 1:9). He tells me he will comfort me, and I am comforted (2 Corithians 1:3). He tells me there is a plan, and I know it will far exceed what my plan is (Jeremiah 29:11).
His voice, full of his written word has become such a treasure to me. In my time of brokeness He is faithful. He does what he says and will never leave me or forsake me (Hebrews 13:5). He is the only one that can fill me. I ask for him to drown out the voices that are causing destruction with lies from the enemy.
You are NOT a problem, you ARE well, there IS ALWAYS hope, KEEP BELIEVING! He is the ONLY voice that matters. Continue to ask the Holy Spirit to transform your thinking, I know I do....all the time. Our thoughts can get the best of us. But we need to continually lean into the Lord and ask for discernment to know the difference between lies and truth. Lies condemn. Lies blame. Lies place shame and fear. None of that is God's truths. His truths bring healing, clarity, peace, love, joy, redemption. Keep seeking, Him, Whitney, and His truths. Stay in His Word!! I am so proud of the woman you are, Whitney. You are so beautiful inside and out, and your honesty and humility and continue leaning into God makes you even more beautiful and special. :) Don't listen to the lies that can creep up in thoughts, or the lies that can come from people. Continue to listen to the Lord. Continue being filled by the only One who can truly fill you, and the only One who will never accuse you, and the only One who will NEVER lie to you, and the only One who will never fail you. It's all about Him.
