5 Lies to Reject

Ever been guilty of believing a lie?I think we have all been there at one point or another.  We hear something that maybe has a bit of truth to it and we believe it.  It sounds real enough, so we accept it.  The only way to break out from the control of a lie is when we see it for what it really is when compared to the truth.Here are 5 lies I believe each of us need to reject...I can't changeNo matter how entrenched you may feel where you are at in life, you can change.  By God's grace, each of us can be transformed (2 Cor. 5:17-21, Rom. 12:1-2).The Truth: God's Grace and Power gives me access to what I need to change.My best days are behind meWay too many people are victims of the "rear view mirror" syndrome.  They are always looking over their shoulders to the glory days.  When they think about what is ahead they believe that the future is bleak.  Uncle Rico had an issue with living back in '82.  God has a plan for each of us, and it isn't just some distant memory.The Truth: God has a plan for my life.  I'm going to embrace what is ahead!There is no potential in meIf you are breathing there is potential.  Don't allow your potential to be determined by what you see around you.  Allow it to be determined by what God's Word says about you.The Truth: Because of Christ in me, I have incredible potential.I'm not valuableGod is in the business of taking things that are "useless" and making them "useful".  Value is always determined by what someone is willing to pay for the object.  A great price was paid for you.  You are valuable!The Truth: God sees me as valuable.No one cares/I'm all aloneLoneliness can be a very real feeling.  At times we can feel like people, family or friends don't care.  Even when you look around and feel completely alone, you aren't!The Truth: God will never leave me or forsake me.  He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
