Intertwined

I am a product of a mom and a dad, their genes are intertwined in my DNA. Growing up, I had a false belief that I am half good / half bad because I believed that my mom is good and my dad is bad. I’ve always struggled with the fear that one day my bad side would completely take over me, but those thoughts are lies which I now can discredit. I can’t change the fact that I am a child of my mom and dad. But my actions, thoughts, belief, and happiness are a choice. The voices that tells me that “I can’t do it” are the voices of demons. It’s important to be able to hear our thoughts and feelings as voices, rather than believing that those are who we are. If we can hear our thoughts and feelings as voices, we can differentiate who’s saying those voices in our head and heart. My Shepherd calls to me so I know His warm loving affirming secure voice. Knowing His voice is important because if there are negative voices injecting lies into my head, I would be able to discern it as a voice, rather than letting it define who I am. If I’m not feeling peace and joy, it means that my identity is under attack from the enemy. It’s important to know who I am and know who can give me my true identity. I hear my Shepherd calling out to me, He calls me “very very good”. BAHHHHH~
