Depression lies to all of us. It tells us that we are not good enough. It tells us that we will never amount to anything in this world. It tells us that we are stupid. It tells us that we are dumb to even try things. It tells us that we are ugly. It tells us that we are worthless.
It tells us that we are broken beyond repair. It tells us that we are not worthy to be loved. It tells us that we are not wanted by anyone. It tells us that the world would be much better off without us. It tells us that we are nobody. It tells us that we don't mean anything and our lives are not worth living. It tells us that we will never find true happiness in our lives.
But God...
God says I love you my sweet precious child. He says I created you for a purpose and I put purpose within you. God says you are unique. God says you are wonderful. He says that you are special. He says you are worthy of all the love I have to offer you. He says I have a plan for you and your life. God says that you are cherished. You are a treasure to Him. God promises happiness over your life.
You see, the people in our society today have a way of getting into our head. They see our differences and the things we cannot do and think that we cannot possibly have any value to offer them or the world around us. I'll let you in on a little secret right now society does not define us. It's important that we don't let the actions of a few limit our ability to the great person God created us to be in the world.
Today, I challenge you to ignore the worlds view of you. Tune out all the negative thoughts and listen to God. Keep in mind that faith in God is bigger than the lies you are told by your mind.
I leave you with my favorite verse "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
