The Lying Game

So I promised everyone that I would write everyday. I haven't been very true to that promise, mostly for lack of something to say. Do I actually have something worth while to express? Will anybody read my posts anyway? Doubts. Lies. All to easy to believe.

I find myself believing lies in every area of my life. My body. My mind. People's intentions. Even my personality. These lies are eroding to me. They chip away at my entire being until I finally find myself in a sort of bog. And the scary part? i don't even realize that I'm believing them.

Today, go and ask God to show you the lies you are believing. Ask him to reveal them to you. Mostly hiding in plain sight- the Devil works subtly. Know the enemy. Create a battle plan. Have you seen the fashion industry lately? Satan has worked so subtly over the years that now we have half naked women in malls where anybody could see them. He works through commercials and icons to tell us how ugly we are. He tells us that we have to lose more weight, get bigger eyes, fuller lips, higher hair. NO! That is not how God created us. We are made in His image! How glorious that he formed us with His fingers to absolute perfection. We get into trouble when we mess it up with chemicals or depriving our bodies of nutrients because we're trying to lose weight....in order to look like some else!

My sister and I after a day at the lake- no make-up! 

YOU are beautiful! Whoever you are. God is impressed with you. He is proud of His work. You are jewel. If you feel sad or empty today, know that I am sending you loves and hugs! I love you.

Love, Bethany
