If we really knew how much God loved us, we
would think & act differently. Knowing we are fearfully &
wonderfully made (Ps139:15); that we are God's masterpiece (Eph2:10).
Really knowing we are knitted together by His hands & that He lives
in us-that we have His confidence, gives us the resources to
overcome...anything. For sure we would break up with
"self-defeat"...foreverrrr!!! Self-defeat wants
to bind us in fear, anticipate let downs, be afraid of being passed
over, rejected, & 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 & 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 wants to entertain
you...slam the door & respond with scripture. Continue to speak
aloud throughout the day what God says about you. You will begin to
think & act different...you will know you are loved...by your
Father. When you really know this love...self-defeat won't come near
you, because it's a coward & it can't handle God's love! Blessings
my friend.
