He looks at you and sees that you’re a winner. So this week, if thoughts of inadequacy and failure try to creep in, tell them no.īelieve and see yourself as God sees you. He doesn’t see the hurts, shortcomings, and failures. When He looks at you, He sees your value. The truth is, God doesn’t see you like that. We begin to believe the lie that we’re insufficient and worthless. We all face situations where we begin to doubt our worth. Perhaps someone has said or done something to you that made you feel less than God’s best. Have you ever felt like you weren’t that good at something? Maybe you didn’t make the basketball team and you feel like you’re nothing. It’s like a fragrance that fills the air. Wherever we go, God uses us to make clear what it means to know Christ. So today, choose to tell the truth regardless of what it costs you.īut I thank God, who always leads us in victory because of Christ. I realized that there was freedom in telling the truth.

The freedom I experience when I stopped lying was amazing. Today’s Truth: There is freedom in telling the truth I needed to tell the truth even if it meant that others didn’t look at me as favorably. I realized that I needed to tell the truth even if it meant I got in trouble. Once I confronted my motivation for lying, it made it easier for me to kick the habit. I didn’t want to look bad or get in trouble, so I’d tell a lie. Are you trying to make yourself look better? Cover an insecurity? Or something else?įor me, the root of my lying habit was insecurity and selfishness. Honestly look at yourself and your motivation for lying. So if you’ve found yourself trapped in the habit of lying, take a moment to step back. Or maybe you flat out tell huge whopping lies. Maybe you’re like me and have gotten into a bad habit of telling lots of harmless small lies. I knew telling big lies were wrong, but how about small ones that got me out of trouble and didn’t hurt anyone? I’d exaggerate when telling a story to make myself look better to my friends. I’d stretch the truth a bit about what happened when I was out with friends so my mom didn’t freak out when I got home.

No, they weren’t huge lies, just small ones. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body.
