Satan told me these words today:

 

On this earth, you will never. ever. be known. You will never. ever. be understood.

You are not worth anyone’s time.

No one loves you.

The people who you love the most will break their promises and hurt you.

You can’t trust anyone.

You are totally alone.

Your love is so lacking.

Your best efforts are not enough.

You lead those you love away from Jesus.

You are disappointing.

There’s no hope for you.

 

Burdened by the weight of these words that hit home and cut deep to my heart this week, I felt so helpless. My soul was so weary as these words played themselves over and over in my head.

A lot of what Satan told me was true. Or at least it stemmed from truths that were then twisted into lies. And that’s what made it even more paralyzing.

And so I cried out to my Father in heaven.

 

And Jesus told me these words:

 

You will never be known on this earth. But I know you. Indeed, I have known you and understood you completely and intimately.

You are not worth anyone’s time or love, but despite that, I choose you. I choose to love you and be with you. You were worth every single moment that I spent on this earth and in fact, I came so that I could bring you back home to be with me.

People will break your heart with their words and their actions. They broke mine too. But I want you to follow after me in loving them and desiring their good.

I know you still make mistakes. I know that your soul is still chained to its sinful nature at times. My beloved daughter, do not lose heart, and keep your eyes on mine as you journey through this life.

Trust me. And in Me you will find that I am breathing life into the hearts of those around, even as I am slowly transforming your heart to be in my likeness. Trust that in me, I bring unity to My people as they look forward to the hope that I give.

I love you. I love you. Well done, my daughter. I’m proud of you.

 

Thank you, Abba Father.

Psalm 42:11

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God.
