Truth Triumphs

This is the battle:

I feel I am torn between my emotions and what I deeply know to be true. My soul and spirit are clashing in a battle for my love and devotion. If I choose one, it seems the other must submit.


This is the lie:

I am at the mercy of the clock. I can never be good enough. I keep screwing up, procrastinating, not making wise choices. I am performing and scheduling and strategizing up to ying-yang, and I've had enough. I need to run outside in free air... I need to go fast or very slow and forget about life... busy, busy life. I am anxious and unsettled and wish for an escape. I have made myself vulnerable and now want to lay down somewhere and cry.


This is the truth:

I am covered by grace. He loves me no matter what. My King would lay down His very life because He deems our relationship worthy of such a sacrifice. He loves me with a fiery, passionate love, and no one can take that love. I am the Lord's. I am the delight of the King. He sees beauty in me... and desires to unveil it. He is my righteousness. He is my justice. He loves me, and He is Good.

Healing comes as I pour out these things of my heart.


This is my choice:

Every time I enter a heart-battle like this, I feel as though my center stability is hanging in the balance. Where will I fall? Who will I believe? What do I focus on? This moment of choice is imperative.

A Casting Crowns song puts my determination into words...
I will listen and believe the Voice of Truth.


This is my conclusion:

I put my trust in the One who is ever faithful. I reject the lies of the enemy and desperately ask for the Truth to set me free.


This is my proclamation:

I CHOOSE TO LISTEN AND BELIEVE THE VOICE OF TRUTH.
