You are Royalty! ❥

Have you ever had thoughts like these? 

I am not good enough. I am ugly. I will not make anywhere in life. I am a loser. I fail in everything I do. Nobody loves me. I am bad at everything. I don't fit in. 

Do you know that those thoughts are not from God? 

If you entertain these thoughts it will make a nest in your head and will stay there. These are the thoughts that the enemy wants you to feed in and feel stuck up. 

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - John 10:10 

Jesus came to give life in abundance. He called you by name. He knows every little detail about you. He is very interested in you. You are much loved by Him. 

Stop listening to the enemies lies. The devil wants you to be so focused on the hurt, criticism, and derogatory comments that have come your way that you miss the good God has for you.

David went through the same criticism as we do but He decided from a young age as a shepherd boy to be focused on things that are above. In the wilderness, when no one was watching, by the streams, he sang away Psalm 23:1-6

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

David's confidence was in the praises to His Heavenly father. His confidence was in the promises of His Mighty God. David did not fear, He relied completely in God's care. Even when His family saw Him as just a short shepherd boy with a staff and muddy clothes... God already had His plans ready to anoint David as King. 

Let God define you in your life. It don't matter what people say. Let God do His thorough work in you. In the meantime, Surrender, Pray and Praise Him in the Hallway!

When you start seeing yourself as handpicked by God—valued, loved, created with purpose—your attitude will change. And when it does, your life will change too. 

You don’t have to worry about getting even for all the wrong that has been done to you. I’m sure you have had your fair share of hurt and disappointment, but God promises that He will pay you back double for your former shame. 

He’ll make the rest of your life twice as good as it would have been if all that had not happened to you.

"Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours." - Isaiah 61:7

Trust God. He is faithful. He is patient. 

And He’ll get you where you’re supposed to be. He doesn't want hurt, guilt or panic to separate your heart from His. 

Therefore, step forward. You are free in Him. Your salvation in Him is secure. Resist the lies of the enemy. Keep your focus on the Cross. Repent and sin no more. Enter His presence daily because He sees you as His beloved child. You are a daughter/son of the one True King. JESUS CHRIST. You are Royalty now! God bless.
