Throughout our lives, we get to believe so many lies about ourselves. Some of these lies can be rooted in our deepest wounds and traumas, they can also be labels that were placed in us by others or ourselves, they can also be a reflection of what we need the most or what we long for (i.e.: lie: I am an orphan, need: I need a father, truth: I am God’s beloved daughter!). Here is a list of lies I have come to believe about myself and God, accompanied with their antithesis, which has brought light, truth, and healing. These lies have been easy to unmask and the truths easy to believe, but God can do wonderful things (God-level things) in our lives, if we let him, and he has in mine, so I pray you let Him do it in yours too.
Truth | Lie
- I am your beloved daughter | I am an Orphan
- I am your masterpiece | I have nothing good to offer
- I was chosen by you before the foundation of the world | I do not belong
- I am your beloved | I am not worthy of love and respect
- I am never alone and God is always with me | I am on my own and God is indifferent to my suffering
- I have been redeemed | I am too broken
- I am Godβs special possession and He called me out of darkness into His wonderful light | I am lost
- I am wonderfully made | I should not be alive, I am a Mistake
- I am forgiven | My Past defines me
- I am gifted | My life doesnβt have a purpose
- I am fully seen and known by God | I donβt matter
- God cares for me, He will provide for me | I am on my own, I need to provide for myself
- God cares about my dreams
- Godβs plans are better than mine and He has a dream for my life
- God thirsts for me and my love
- God takes delight in me | I am a monster
- God loves me with everlasting love | God plays favorites
- God wants to marry me | Iβll never get married
