"The wicked enjoy fellowship with others who are wicked; liars enjoy liars" (Prov. 17:4 TLB).
I'm talking about your self-image here. Do you think that you're dumb? A nobody? Ugly?
Hey, think about this, if you begin to believe lies about yourself in any way, shape or form, you will suddenly start to attract other liars!
They will just reinforce your insecurity. You will not have the stability that is supposed to be in your life that is given to you by God.
Then, that insecurity will start to reinforce the lie that you are dumb, you are nothing, or you are ugly. It will continue until only God will be able to deliver you from the lies because they get bigger and bigger.
You will no longer know what is right and what is wrong, or what is true or what is untrue.
When you begin to believe those lies about yourself you will eventually attract other liars into your life. And what does that become? Double jeopardy!
Not only will the devil have a stronghold in your life, but also he will have a buddy to back it up! Two liars do not make the truth. (Three or more don't either just in case you were wondering.) Two liars just make more lies.
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31-32 KJV).
I've got good news for you! Jesus said that if you get into God's Word, (the Bible) you will know the truth and the truth will make you free!
So what IS the truth? You are God's child! You are smart! You are something great! You are beautiful! And that's the truth!
