A written form of Worship.

I really don’t understand who the devil thinks he is. He attempts to place so much doubt in me, so many insecurities. But when I stare in the mirror, I’m greeted with pure confusion. Where does the devil get his angle from? Lower levels that’s where. If we give into his thoughts and make them our own, we trade the God’s motivating high steam (found in the word) for the low steam of the devil. This is how we get low self-esteem and feel sluggish about ourselves and life in general. You know the devil’s an idiot when he comes at you with your terrible at maths, you then apply yourself and get a good grade. All of a sudden he changes ammunition, tries to pick at something else. If we begin to truly understand that we were called to a higher purpose which is God’s plan for us, we wouldn’t be entertained by the enemy’s sweet talk. I call it sweet talk because you apply his empty whispers to your life, but as for God who you should have relations with you shy away from his firm proposals scared of a challenge…commitment. For me it’s constantly reminding myself that I am fearfully and wonderfully made… I can’t help but seek the approval of demi-Gods. It’s definitely gotten better, my ultimate God has definitely thrown a few spanners in the works to prove that the opinions of others are irrelevant.  I’ve always attempted to run from things I knew were bad for me, so minor things like taking selfies and getting hooked on social media have never been a thing for me. I know it sounds mad, but I have had a few experiences whereby the compulsions that I did allow were lethal. I guess when it boils down to it, it’s a matter of trust. Do you trust yourself? Trusting yourself allows room for self-confidence and the kicking out of self-doubt. When you set goals do you find yourself aiming below your full on abilities? Do you see yourself as a bad, unliveable person so just run with it? You try and imagine your hearts core, and just see pure black, this belief is assisted by the dodgy thought you have once in a while. Nope that’s not you. Romans 5:5 says; “And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” I really love Kiera Sheard’s version of Indescribable: “You see the depths of my heart and you love me the same.” At least trust me, if God sees something in you worth keeping on this earth you are of worth. You have the capability to be Christ-like his voice and guidance lives inside you. Think of it like an app. You are busy using the cheap “boost” system of the enemy when the Almighty God has paid and pre-packaged for an up-to-date and ethical software giving you confirmation on every aspect of your life. I just want to point out that yourself means trusting God, now please don’t take this out of context and put yourself in compromising situations. Matthew 26:41; “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
