Breaking Free from the Lies


When I was younger I had lies spoken over me.

I was told that when I was thinner I would be better.

When I was younger I had lies spoken over me.

I was told that I’d make nothing of myself.

When I was younger I had lies spoken over me.

But that is all they were – lies.

I no longer believe those lies.

Their power has been broken.

 

I don’t have to be slimmer to be better.

I am enough already.

At this weight I am accepted.

Jesus loves me and He will never love me any more than He does right now.

I don’t need to earn His favour.

I don’t need to impress anyone else.

If I choose to lose weight, I do it for me and for my health.

 

Now I am an adult I know I am enough.

It doesn’t matter what you think.

Your words, your looks, your thoughts have no power over me.

Because I am a daughter of the Most high.

I no longer live under lies.

I have been set free.

And today I choose to open the prison door and to step outside.

 

The chains are well and truly broken.

Thank you Jesus.
