Trying to remember what Beth Moore says about demoralisation ~ that it is a tool of Satan to discourage us. He watches us to learn what our worst fears are, about ourselves, and what we could/will become, then he plies us with the fear that we ARE becoming that.
BUT, we are loved, chosen, adopted, accepted, redeemed, forgiven, and blessed, by God!
Ephesians 1:3-8 ~ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
God is who he says he is! God can do what he says he can do!
I am who God says I am! I can do all things through Christ! God's word is alive and active in me!
Now, to actually believe that, instead of the garbage I've always been taught about myself by my family. That I wasn't wanted, shouldn't have been born, have been the cause of all of my family's problems, and should be happy to have been allowed to live in their home, and to have to act as a servant to them.
I am so glad I finally learned that this was their problem, and not mine! However, the issues from those years of training are hard to overcome ... they have been the backdrop of my life for ever since I can remember. So hard to rid myself of this, although I have other family and many friends who are great people, who love me much and actively.
