Lets be honest for a
minute. We have all felt unimportant, insignificant and just all around
different. In my case these false feelings and thoughts seem to come at the
most inconvenient and random times!
Picture this, you're
standing on the beach enjoying the view. The sun is shining, birds flying over head, children are laughing
…Then the whole scene changes. Massive waves crash down on you out of no where.
And if you don't know how to escape then you will get caught in yet a another
set of waves.
This is how I think
these feelings come some times. I know you can feel like your are on top of the
world then BAM! The kicker here for me is that I know when I feel this way it's
a lie. But that’s the thing with lies…they a lot of times "seem" to
hold truth. How do we get past these
feelings and thoughts? How can we rise to the top victorious? Here are 5 ways
to rise above negative thoughts:
1. Acknowledge that
what you are thinking and feeling is
indeed a lie. Here is the deal, you are so important, very significant and well
you are different and that's OK. Realize that the enemy is up to no good and fight back! You don't have to take it.
2. Talk with someone
you trust. We can't walk this life alone and we need people in our lives that
build us up and encourage us in who we really are. This may be your parents,
your best friend or pastor. Whoever it may be tell them what your feeling. They
will jump into action to help you smash the lies.
3. Speak the truth over
yourself. One you have identified that what you are feeling is a lie speak the
opposite to yourself. Look in the mirror and shower yourself with words of
encouragement. No really! Stand there and watch as your face stars to change. Good words bring life!
4. Spend time with God.
Although people are good and all God is the best one to go to when this stuff
happens. God will never run out of good things to say about you. The bible says
that his thoughts for us out number the grains of sand. Wow! Mind blowing right?
God loves you and because of that there is no way that you are unimportant,
insignificant or that you don't fit in. The one who knows the stars by name
just so happens to love you more than you can think or imagine.
5. Enjoy life. When you know that you are so loved by God
you can't help but enjoy life! When those false feelings and thoughts try to
come you can laugh in their faces. What's really fun is that when those attacks
come that means something good is about to happen. The enemy wants to get us
off our game. Don't give in to their bag of tricks.
So what are you
waiting for? Are you believing lies about yourself or others? Don't live in
that mess because "Ain't nobody got time for that!"!
Whatsoever Think...
