So many voices. Voices in this world speaking to us from the outside but then next thing we know they are internalized and we mistake them for our own. How you talk to yourself, about yourself, MATTERS.
It’s easy to mistake self deprecation for humility. It’s easy when you start to feel a little confident for that small quiet voice to say “who do you even think you are?” “You’re not capable of this, you’re no one special, you’re too broken, you’re too much, you’re not enough.”
Self compassion can feel really self indulgent or selfish when you’ve been trained and programmed most of your life to “stay humble, put others above yourself and remember how imperfect you are.”
We have to fight daily against these kinds of voices. The enemy wants nothing more than to torment you in your mind. 2 Corinthians 10:5
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
The only way to fight lies is with TRUTH. The TRUTH is this: God does not speak to His children through condemnation and shame. In Christ, He calls you made new. Redeemed. Chosen. Loved. His workmanship. He says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He says that through Christ we can stand holy and blameless in His sight.
Humility is not agreeing with lies about yourself. Humility is agreeing with GOD about yourself.
You don’t have to call yourself worthless to be humble. You don’t have to diminish yourself to glorify God. In fact, when God says you are His workmanship, created with purpose, continually telling yourself “I’m worthless, I’m nothing, I’m too broken, I’m not enough” isn’t biblical humility.
The answer to a lie isn’t a nicer lie. It’s truth.
So when those voices come…take them captive and hold them against the Word of God.
Does this agree with what God says about me?
Because God says:
I am a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
I am His workmanship. (Ephesians 2:10)
I am chosen, holy and dearly loved. (Colossians 3:12)
There is no condemnation for me in Christ. (Romans 8:1)
Through Christ, I am reconciled to God and presented holy and blameless in His sight. (Colossians 1:21–22)
I thank God that the way He sees me is not determined by my wounds, my failures, my past, or someone else’s opinion of me. And I pray that when those old voices speak, you learn to recognize them, take them captive, and replace them with what God has actually said.
I thank God for the way He sees me. I thank God nothing about those thoughts reflects His voice. I pray you will combat those voices when they speak as well. I love you!!! God loves you more. ❤️❤️ Eyes To See Ministry
