The Truth

     The spiritual world is real, and attacks exist.  We must find the truth amidst the whispers that aim to destroy our minds and wound our hearts.  We have to know that we are worthy, we are good, we are useful, and that we matter.  We have to understand the enemy seeks to destroy us by making us believe the lies that we don't measure up, that we are not attractive enough, wealthy enough, good enough.  The spiritual world exists, and we have to understand that the truth lies in God.  The truth is that to God, you are created good, your heart is good, and you were made with a purpose.  The truth is , that you are beautiful, that you were knit together perfectly by the creator of the universe with a plan for good that will be for your life on earth and in eternity.  The truth is, that until we allow God in we won't know the truth.  The truth is that until we sit and listen to the God who promises to be our wonderful counselor for eternity, we will continue to believe the lies the enemy seeks to make us believe.  The world is run by a powerful being that hates God and all his goodness, seeking to destroy the beauty he has made in our hearts .  Our value and our worth are the things we must protect.  They are the things we must fight for.  They are the the things that make us who we are.  We must guard ourselves with the breastplate of riotousness, the belt of truth and the shoes of readiness with the gospel of peace.  We must put on our helmet of salvation, our shield of faith and take up our sword of the spirit, always ready to battle the attacks of the enemy.    We are beloved children of God, we are valuable, we matter and we are loved.   Never let the enemy take that from you.  Fight for your heart.  Never give up. You are strong and you are not alone.  God is with you, and when you walk in his path He will not only show you the way, He will show up with an infantry to fight for your heart.  Be encouraged my friends, you are not alone in this world.  Choose to fight.  Choose the life you were designed for.
