Ahhh the question of my day.....these little words just so happened to pop into my head today out of the blue. Seems like lately that I have been having a battle with some unkind thoughts in my head. Lots of black fish swimming around in the sea of my brain. Guess the good Lord is trying to give me a little push towards the answers I need to hear.
When little dark thoughts enter our minds it is sometimes hard to just shove them off to the side and dismiss them. They often have a tendency to sit there an poke you and poke you and poke you until you start wondering and thinking. Then eventually those thoughts are what is actually happening. Ahhhh...the madness of it all. Why do we sit there and let it happen. Is it because we are just weak, is it because deep down we are crazy, or is it because we feel that there is some truth to the matter...why else would they enter our heads? When in actuality its definitely not what God wants us to think and believe. Its the evilness of the devil just coming in and trying to attack us when we have a door cracked, our armour down, and our back turned for a brief moment. Its at those times he feels like he can take over and run our life.
With the way the world is evolving, it is almost soo easy for him to take over. But never for once would God want us to even believe, trust or seek those nasty, hurtful or even plain crazy thoughts. We were made in his likeness....made to be awesome, beautiful, intelligent, kind, thoughtful, forgiving, likable, trustworthy, very much worth something...anything...everything. So why on earth would be want to take the enemy's side?
So now I need to raise my armor a little higher, make sure that my door is securely closed, KNOW God has my back and start believing those kind, warm, generous, loving thoughts and ways that He wants me to have. I need to let go of the negativity.....know that I am worth something. I need to learn to love myself truly and wholly and when I do that....it will all fit into place and I know that I will be loved....unconditionally.
Remember that God created us in his own image....not in the image of the enemy. So love ourselves a little bit more each and every day. Know deep down that we are beautiful, lovable, and worthy of everything.
Peace loves to ya......

I was just recently thinking about you... hadn't heard from your corner of the world in awhile.
DON'T YOU LET that Satan tell you those lies. With my history of depression/eating disorder I can definitely vouch for the way he gets in there little by little until you feel like it's too late. The BEST thing that has ever helped me battle the mental battle is the WORD. Nothing works better. (That and at first a little medicine :)) Every time I hear those negative thoughts, I have to recite the truths of God's word that combats it unti I believe it.
Satan says: You are not good enough. God whispers to my soul: "Child, in 2 Cor 2:9 I tell you - 'My grace is sufficient for you.... for my power is made PERFECT in weakness." Whatever the problem His Word teaches me truths to combat it. Hallelujah!!! Prayers for you, friend!
