I realize when I say things often because Sarah starts to say them. So when I started hearing Sarah say, "Sucks!" I became more aware of this word slipping out of my mouth. I then realized how often I say "I suck." How sad, I don't want Sarah to think/say that about herself. Um . . . so do I really think that about myself? If I'm saying that to myself, I must mean it, right? I'm not perfect, I know that, but do I really think I suck? I do not suck. I make sucky choices but I do not suck.
I am redeemed.
I am a daughter of The King.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I am God's workmanship.
I need to start seeing myself as God sees me. I need to stop the lie that I suck from perpetuating itself in my attitude throughout the day. I don't want that to be something I pass on to my daughters.
When I started to combat that lie, I seemed to accomplish more. I found myself handling life more peacefully and joyfully again.
Once again, I find freedom in truth.
