the father of lies

"What if you're making this life-change for nothing?"
"It's only a matter of time before you mess up again"
"You don't have what it takes to make a difference"
"You're missing out on all of the fun"
"You're not talented enough"
"They wouldn't want anything to do with you if they knew the real you"
"It's too late for you"
"Your old life is so much easier"
"You're never going to get married"
"They don't care about you"
"You're all alone"
"Give up"

Do any of these sound familiar to you? These are just a few of the lies that the devil has been constantly throwing at me lately. It's hard to recognize it as just that though sometimes, LIES. When the devil feeds us this crap, we need to see it for what it is and reject it. I encourage you to pay more attention to what lies you're letting yourself entertain. Stand on TRUTH.

"He has always hated the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies." John 8:44

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7

"Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself." Philippians 2:5
