Break Up with Self-Defeat Foreverrrrrrrr!!!!!

If we really knew how much God loved us...we would think and act differently. We would see ourselves as God sees us. We would know His love never leaves us...never. Knowing we are fearfully & wonderfully made (Psalm 139:15); that we are God's masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10). Really knowing we are knitted together by His hands and that He lives in us-that we have His confidence which gives us the resources to overcome...anything. For sure we would break up with self-defeat...foreverrrrrrr!!! Self-defeat wants to bind us in fear, anticipate let downs, be afraid of being passed over, rejected, and unfulfilled.  Self-defeat is a liar...all the time!!! 1 John 4:18 says there is no fear in God's love-dread does not exist-His love expels every trace of terror. Self-defeat will stir up your feelings and before you know it, you're feeling like a failure. Jesus did not engage in conversation with satan-Jesus responded with scripture. We are to do the same; when self-defeat knocks on your door and wants to entertain you...slam the door!!!  Renew your mind (Romans 12:2) with God's promises. Continue to speak aloud throughout the day what God says about you. You will begin to think and act differently...because the more you say what God says about you, the more of a revelation of His love you will hear and receive and you will know you are loved...by your Father. When you really begin to receive God's love...self-defeat won't come near you, because self-defeat is a coward and it will run from God's mighty love for you! Remind yourself everyday throughout the day-you are loved! Blessings my friend. 5/12CIFL-LMM
