Listen to what God says about you, not the liar in the world!
Reflecting on two songs:

…And everyday I wrestle with the voices that keep telling me I’m not right, but that’s alright, ‘Cause I hear a voice and He calls me “redeemed”, when others say I’ll never be enough…

…out of all the voices calling out to me, I will choose to listen and believe the Voice Of Truth…
We all had our share of heartbreaks and experiences that destroy our self-esteem. From a spouse that told us we will never amount to anything or that we are not attractive anymore. Bosses that demean you constantly. Parents that insult you and say you cannot do anything right. Our child hoods probably were sprinkled with bullies that constantly abused us verbally if not also physically.
So we learn and become set on the voices that we hear. From our parents, teachers, bosses, and friends.
Without Jesus in our life we are molded and conformed by all kinds of voices as we grow. You probable has seen this image in cartoons where they paint a devil in one side, and an angel in the other. These voices tend to make us go in a way that our Creator did not intend, been tossed around like a wave in the wind (James 1:6.) Many lives have been destroyed or are about to be destroyed because of the voices they hear, pay attention to, and let them through into the hearts.
No matter what torments you today, there is a way. You do not have to live with these lies corrupting your mind! Cast your burdens on God because He cares for you.
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:6-7 NKJV
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He begins to clean our soul of these lies that were implanted in you. It takes a new thinking and a renewing process. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 12:1-2 NKJV:
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
The word in Greek translated “conformed” here means “been shaped into” like you shape a piece of mold. Your mind was conformed (shaped) before Christ, now it must be RENEWED IN-Christ.
The WILL of God is to transform you into the image of His Son.
“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:29 NKJV
As you read the Word of God, the Word reads you also and talks to you. It is a process that takes place in your spirit and enabled by the Holy Spirit. TRUST the Holy Spirit to reveal the Truth to you and erase LIES that were implanted in you.
“For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” Romans 8:15-16 NKJV
Abba, Father,
Teach me to pay attention to your whisper in my spirit. Erase from my mind lies about me that were implanted and in its place, engrave your wisdom, grace and love. Teach me to follow your Way not the way of the world. I will trust the Holy Spirit as He talks to my spirit and I will listen to the Word of Truth.
In Jesus’ name!
Amen!
