Generally, as women, we are faced with many problems. Sometimes
we create our own problems. Other times, life hands us problems.
Many times, we may allow these problems to escalate to the point that
we never hand our problems over to God, but instead attempt to hold
onto them until they become lies. Lies in which the enemy torments us
and often speaks: condemning, shaming, mean, frightening, and
hateful words to us. When we believe the lies and fears from the
enemy; that we have nothing to offer, that we will never be forgiven
for past mistakes, or whatever lie we tell ourselves, we become
paralyzed by the enemy.
We must cling to God's truth! We can ask the Holy Spirit to give us
wisdom to discern what is true, to help us learn to distinguish between
God's words versus the enemies words to ensure that we are listening
to the voice of God. "He is faithful and just to forgive us" John 1:9,
(NIV). Give all the lies and fears to God! God loves us with an
unconditional love. God speaks to us lovingly. His words are kind,
convicting, encouraging, and comforting. We don't need to earn God's
love through our actions, because His love is a gift that has already
been given to us at the cross.
