There is a lie trying to forge roots into the hearts of those of us that follow Jesus. This lie will steal our joy, ransack our hearts, and leave us bitter. We can hear the lie when someone denies the bravery that they hold as a child of God. We can see it when someone backs down from doing what God asks them to do. We can feel it when the strength it takes to be kind is fleeting. This lie can overwhelm us. It can keep us frozen in fear and make us walk away from doing what we know is right. This lie will keep us in the same spiritual place that we have been for the last ten years. Our enemy will whisper to us the lie that we are not brave, we are not strong, and we are not kind. But the truth that exists in God's word tells us something so very different and defeats every lie told to us. Through Jesus, we are brave enough to do anything He could ask us to do. We are strong enough to push through any fear and overcome. We are kind enough to show the overwhelmed person the love that was first shown to us. We have to learn how to overcome the enemy's lies about who he says we are and live in the chain-breaking truth about who God says we are! I think it's time that we learned to live this life as overcomers, victors, and redeemed children of God. We have to walk in His truth and learn to define ourselves by who God says we are! I am brave. I am strong. I am kind. So are you, child of God. Learn to live it!
