He loves to tell you your not good enough:
for someone who treats you right,
to be a light and example to others,
to stand up for what you believe in.
He loves to tell you your not worthy so you might as well settle:
for that job you don't like but society does,
for those words people say behind your back or to your face,
for people in your life who are not a positive Christlike influence.
What is oddly comforting to me is to know these thoughts are a direct result of the devil sneaking in my life from outside influences. Why I say this is comforting is because of a phrase I love to remember: when the devil is working God is working twice as hard! Do you think God would leave you to fend for yourself in the face of adversity? Heck no! He never leaves your side and through Him you hold the power to overcome any doubt. To combat that doubt with truth from God's written word.
"then Jesus told them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea', and it will happen."
- Matthew 21:21
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
"for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."
- Deuteronomy 20:4
"I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you."
- Luke 10:19
"Little children, let no one deceive you! The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous. The one who commits sin if of the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning. The son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the Devil's works."
- 1 John 3:7-8
