What do
you think the worst lie is that you've ever told?
What me?
You reply
Yes
You
We've all
told them
Not just
the small 'white' lies
Like
Yes
darling the jeans really look good on you
No you
bum doesn’t look big in it
The
cheque is in the post
Sorry my
boss is in a meeting
Every day
We bend
the truth
We all do
it
No one is
better than anyone else
One of my
best lies was to my parents
After a
night of serious drinking
I came
home very drunk
I mean
very drunk
I had
also stuffed my face with an extremely hot curry
Not the
best mixture.
Needless
to say
Before I
made it to bed
I threw
up the contents of my excessive evening
Over the
lounge
Carpet
Table
TV
And I left
it there
My
parents awoke the next morning to an unimaginable hell of my doing
When
asked about it
I told
them I was ill because of something I ate
I didn't
mention the alcohol
And they
believed me
My poor
parents
It’s not
easy to shake off the past
Not easy
to put away things people have said
Failures
Hopes
destroyed
Experiences
relived
Embarrassments
All
manner of things and lies
Lies from
the Master of Lies
Every day
he is out to lie and destroy you
You know
the lies: -
- You are not lovable
- You will never make it
- God has put you to one side because of sin
- You are dull
- People will only ever use you
- Happiness is a dream
- Your life has no purpose
And we
listen to them!
The ‘Father
of Lies’, lies to us and we believe the lies
But God
knows everything there is to know about us
Every
fear
Worry
Doubt
Insecurity
Hurt
Everything
little thing that clings to our soul and lies to us.
By his
free, unmerited grace
He has
provided the perfect solution
Jesus
Christ
Through
his death and resurrection we have every spiritual blessing poured down on us
The truth
is that In Christ:
- We are righteous
- We are free from guilt
- We are free from condemnation
- We are loved with an unconditional, everlasting love
- We are accepted
- We are God's workmanship, made perfect and holy
- Life has a purpose
Jesus
invites us into a relationship,
Where
effortless we can soak our minds in His truth so that when the lies come
We recognize
them for what they are
And live
in the truth
It
has all been freely provided by his infinite grace
