The other day I asked some friends a question. I asked them… “Can you write down 100 things you like about yourself?”
What is your knee jerk reaction to this question?
The answer was a resounding NO! GUT PUNCH! Tears streamed down my face, I’m sure the heart of our good good Father was broken too. The one that created the heavens and the earth. The one that hand crafted you in your mother’s womb. The one that breathed life into you and gave you a purpose…He delights in you.
“Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold;
My Chosen One in whom My soul delights.
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the nations.
My Chosen One in whom My soul delights.
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the nations.
Isaiah 42:1 tells us that you are his chosen one, and He delights in you! Can we just soak that in for a minute? He delights in you! When He thinks about you His heart rejoices. The corners of His mouth lift when you come to His mind!
The enemy cannot create anything new. So, he tries to come in and distract you, or get you to question “Did God Really Say?” In understanding the attacks of the enemy we can also understand how to put in safe guards against Him.
Not being able to say 100 things you like about yourself is a divergence tactic of the enemy. I know God has 100 plus things to say about what He loves about you! The pull of defeat has us listening to the enemy but the pull of destiny has us listening to our Creator!
We cannot give away what we do not have. If we want our daughters to be able to know who they are and who they belong to... If we want our daughters to know their worth and value then we also have to know ours as well. We can't teach her precious soul to shine when we have ours bond by chains.
My friend, April Wender, had great wisdom on this topic. “I have a list of adjectives that I use to speak over myself and my family. For the first year I would pick a word every day and give myself 3 evidences that I was that adjective. It was life changing! It helped me to see myself more the way that God sees me!”
Here are 100 plus words to get you started. Grab a pen and paper and start writing out what describes you!
Write your list and post it in the Create Your Dream Life Group where the home of the #dessert for breakfast revolution is housed! Check out the cooking show there on Saturday's at 10:00 am Eastern Standard Time.
