What do you tell yourself when you are lying in bed alone? Being left alone too long with your own thinking can be dangerous. If someone else walked up and said these things, how would you react? Would you be offended, get angry, just accept them or agree? I tend to think we would get angry and offended so why do we allow ourselves to hurl these insults?
In The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe Edmund is put under a spell by The White Witch when he eats the Turkish Delight she gave him. From that very moment, thoughts that are not his own begin to take root in his mind. The thoughts are so deceptive and the roots so deep that Edmund is not even able to realize they are not his own.
Be sure you are guarding your heart, your mind and your thoughts. Meditate on the truth so that you will be able to recognize anything that is not. Don't allow your thoughts to become aligned with the enemy. Don't take even one bite of the Turkish Delight (actually don't even step foot in the sleigh). Start speaking truth and stating things that align with you REALLY are!
Challenge: Pick ten things that are great about you and start speaking them over your life daily. If you are having trouble coming up with ideas, ask a friend or ask me! I think you are great!

I love that challenge...going to try and make my list. Maybe I can avoid the slam-me fest that comes every Monday :)
