For so long, I spoke about my life through the pain I had experienced in my marriage. I didn’t realize how destructive that was until I started noticing that the words I spoke were keeping me in a cycle of abusive except now I was the perpetrator. Doubt, fear and focusing on the past are forms of self-abuse that force your steps to wander off the new path God created for you. I challenge you today to change your script.
What do you tell yourself about your situation? What do you see when you look in the mirror?
It wasn’t until I decided to change my story that my mind began transforming my actions. No longer am I a victim – I am now the winner! I am now beautiful, fearfully and wonderfully made. You define your story and who you are. No longer does your past define your future.
Self-criticism will stifle your healing, it’s a guarantee. You will not move forward in life if your past and what you lack is constantly elevated. The fact that you survived abuse overshadows what you lack. You are a winner and God has equipped you with everything you need to live an abundant life.
Instead of judging and criticizing yourself, choose compassion and grace which will supercharge growth in your life. Loves, I challenge you to adopt this mindset and watch the fruit of your faith manifest in your new story.
“Then turning to His disciples He said privately, “The eyes that see the things you see are blessed! For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them.” – Luke 10:23-24
In His Love,
