What is real and what is not?


Emotions are real, but are they valid? What I mean by this is that what I feel is real, but is whatever is causing the emotion real? 


Lately, due to outside forces, I have had emotions of being disrespected, that I do not deserve to be treated well, that I am stupid, that the only thing about me worthy of being recognized is my body, that I am incapable of doing anything of any significance, and very, very unloved. I let these outside forces over rule all the good that is pouring into me right now, and I dwelled on them. These emotions were very real, but did the actions and words spoken to me, to make me feel this way, have any validity? Absolutely not!


        God does not see me this way. God sees me as His child, whom He loves. He has called me to a mission, because He has a plan to use me. I have a purpose in life, because of Him. My heavenly Father thinks that I am beautiful. He knows that I am far from perfect, yet I still give Him pleasure.


        At first I just thought that it was people that were against me, but then I began thinking about it. The way that I was feeling was the opposite of how God wants me to feel, e.g. the opposite of God is the devil. The devil wants me to feel useless, ugly, downtrodden, and disrespected. He wants my spirit to be broken, to distract me and keep me from being the light that I am in this darkness. His desire is for me to stop sharing the word of God, to stop rejoicing in the Lord, to stop praising God for all He has done in my life.


        I refuse to listen to the lies any longer! Again my hatred for the devil has grown.  I realized that I want absolutely nothing to do with the enemy. I want to be no part of his plan, I never want to be a means for him making something happen, and I want him to have no power over me. Duh, right? But there is a difference between knowing it and being passionate about making it happen.
