I like to send morning thoughts, motivation, scripture or a message to my best friend each morning. I thought it would be worth sharing part of what I sent her yesterday, because you may need to hear it too! All scripture is from the New International Version (NIV), because that is the bible she reads from.
Satan Sucks, plain and simple! He likes to take our biggest fears and vulnerabilities and play on them. He comes on strongest when we are on the brink of doing great things for God’s Kingdom and he likes to hit us where it hurts at the moments we are feeling our weakest!
You are not alone and your strength comes from a higher power! The weapons you fight with are not of this world and you will NOT be devoured. You will stop seeing the negative and the hurts and lies about you, because that is what they are, lies! They were lies when you lived your past life and they are bigger lies now!
You are strong, you are beautiful, you are an amazing mother and wife, you are the best friend in the world, you are an incredible leader, you inspire other, you are worthy of so much more in this life! You are a child of God and you matter and make a difference to so many freakin people that it is almost frightening!
I want to break this down to What God thinks about you and not just what I think!
You are Strong
Proverbs 31:17
She sets about her wok vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
Proverbs 31:25
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
You are Beautiful
Psalm 31:5
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
You are an Amazing Mother/Wife
Proverbs 31:28
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her
Proverbs 31:11
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
You are my Best Friend
Proverbs 18:24
One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
You are a Leader
1 Peter 5:2-3
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them-not because yo must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples of the flock.
You Inspire others
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
You are Worthy

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus
Ephesians 2:10
for we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that yo may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
You are a Child of God
John 1:12
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
Galatians 3:26-27
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothes yourselves with Christ.
I pray that you continue to push the lies out of your head and truly start to realize that you are a blessing and a gift!
