This past week I had a very hard time in my mind. Externally I was fine, but my mind got away from me. One of the tools I used was the truth of Gods word. When I couldn’t find someone to talk to, because I assumed everyone was too busy, I turned to scripture. One could make the argument that I should have started there, but I am after all only human.
The following day, on my bike ride, I spent the time talking to God and reminding myself of who I am in God’s eyes. I am not obsolete, I am not worthless, I have value to share with those around me. God does not make junk, God made me in His image, therefore I am not junk. And neither are you.
Take hold of every thought, and let the light of truth burn away every falsehood.
