Old way of doing things. Turn from destructive thoughts that lead to painful memories and events. The Bible says to go in the opposite direction. You have to believe that you are who God says you are. It’s a choice to believe Him. Then choose to act on that believe. When you submit to God and to His will for your life, you will learn who you are in Christ. If you believe and trust in what God says about you, things will change. You will start to see yourself as God sees you. God never ever leaves us without a choice. God doesn’t want to change just a part of you. He wants to change all of you. What do you choose? No one else can choose for you. You have to choose for yourself. If you are unhappy with yourself, the only way to change that is to choose to believe the truth about yourself declared by your loving Heavenly Father. No person can provide enough affirmation to make you believe that you are okay and keep you happy with yourself.
