Lies. We hear them whispered into our mind as if they were our own thoughts. Lies that say God doesn't love you. Lies that say God is never there for you when you need him. Lies that say you will never be a good enough person for God to love. Lies that say you are not wanted and not loved by anyone. Lies that say we can do nothing right. Lies that tell us that we will never amount to anything. The list of lies could go on and on. My question is why are we so quick to believe the lies and so reluctant to believe the truth?
The Bible speaks very clearly about the truth. The truth says that God loves everyone so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins. [“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16] The truth says that God is always with us and he will never leave us nor forsake us. [The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8] The truth says God's love is based in us accepting and receiving His love. [Jesus says, "As the father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love." John 15:9] The truth says that you are loved by God and He wants you. [And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16] The truth says that with God's help we can do what is right. [I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Proverbs 4:11-13] The truth says God has a plan for us. [“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11]
We know politicians lie because they want to get into office, yet we trust them. We know that lawyers make a living by lying if necessary, yet we have no problems letting them fight on our behalf. We know that friends will even lie to us, in order to not hurt our feelings, yet we believe every word they say. Yet the Bible, which has never been dis-proven and never will be, is discarded and people don't believe it contains the truth. In reality all it contains is the truth. If you want to know the truth about God read the Bible. If you want to know the truth about the beginning of the world, read the Bible. If you want to know the truth about yourself read the Bible. Proverbs, a book in the Bible, reveals human nature and the results of going our own way or God's way. It is the truth of God's word that helps us examine the lies and be able to dismiss them. It is TRUTH!

God has never lied to us, and he never will. The world would like us to believe that none of it is true because then we buy into a society that revolves around lies. God just wants to love us. The Bible reveals how much God loves us and how much He gave for us. It is time for us to rise up against the lies and take back the truth! No lies, just LOVE!!!
