State as a fact; assert strongly and publicly.
Truths
A fact or belief that is accepted as true.
Today lets ask ourselves,
What is my truth? Past, present and future.
The truth about who I am, what I have been through or who has hurt me.
Have I already affirmed it over my life?
Why?
Is it true?
Is it my truth?
Who told me it was true?
Does it define me? How? Why?
Who told me no matter what I do the past won’t escape me?
Is it known to be my truth?
Who told me that?
I was telling myself that I couldn’t because of what someone else said to me. I was telling myself I wasn’t enough because of how someone made me feel. I was telling myself im a failure because I was told no. I was telling myself I didn’t matter because of what someone did to me.
Then I started to fail in life. I started to not care about myself.
Truth is, I believed these things and it affected how I lived but the lies of the enemy will continue to be that, lies. One day I will feel accomplished and so proud of myself because I am actually taking steps forward in the right direction. I am actually growing and changing for the better. All of a sudden here comes the lie of the enemy reminding me of the time someone told me “you won’t ever be anything in life”. Ummmm question is, does that matter? What does that have to do with the NOW? Now I have to decide if I should listen to that lie that I am a failure and I won’t accomplish anything in life or do I remember the truth? Do I silence the voice of the enemy by speaking truth or let the lies get me in my feelings? Im going to be honest some days its hard to ignore the bad but im telling you, hold on to the good and do not forget it. Every chance you get applaud yourself for how far you’ve come. Lord knows I have. Even though there is still much work to be done, the point is I try. I wake up and choose to try and I choose to believe what God says about me. Not my frenemy, not my friend, not my family member, not a person on this earth. I refuse. I refuse to be bruised and confused about who I AM. Who I really am. The real me. Not the me that I became based off of peoples actions or opinions.
Let us change the narrative. Walk in the truth. Not sometime but ALL the time. I want to feel ever so secure and sure in myself. So sure that when the past tries to resurface and bring me to a place I no longer reside. I’ll hide, hide in the truth. Knowing that those feelings may have been real once upon a time but no longer stand. That voice in my head tormenting me of all the wrong will have been silenced by the voice of truth.
That past may be a fact but it can be changed without turning back. Remember that.
