I feel that what Papa is saying to me about this subject is best expressed in the words of a song. It is a collaboration between Jeff Pardo, Matthew West, and the artist, Megan Woods. I’m not going to write it in verse, but in narrative form, so we don’t get all bound up with rhyming and such.
How many times can you hear the same lie before you start to believe it? The enemy keeps whispering to me. I swear, these days, it’s all that I’m hearing. I used to know who I was. Now I look in the mirror and I’m not so sure. Lord, I don’t want to listen to the lies any more.
When I feel like there’s so much noise living rent free in my head, Heaven finds me in a still, small voice, and it sounds like grace instead. You remind me who I am when I look in the mirror and I’m not so sure. Lord, I don’t want to listen to the lies any more.
I know who I am because I know who You are, and I hold Your truth inside of my heart. I know the lies are always going to try and find me, but I’ve never been so sure.
The truth is, I am my Father’s child. I make Him proud and I make Him smile. I was made in the image of a perfect King. The truth is, I am truly loved by a God who’s good when I’m not good enough. I don’t belong to the lies. I belong to You.
And that’s the truth.
I knew Dan loved me when I asked him if he could change anything about me, what would it be? He said, “Nothing.” It made me love him even more. All Papa God wants from us is to have an intimate relationship with us. If we have that kind of relationship, we will love Him even more. And that’s my eternal perspective.
We want to thank Di Zeigler for sharing this post.
