I am righteous and holy!
A year and a half ago I wrote decrees from Patricia King's "Decree" book into the back of my journal, and I used to read them aloud every day. Basically they are just a collection of verses in the Bible that declare who I am in Christ and what He has promised me as His child. I haven't read them for a while, and I think maybe that's one of the reasons why I have reverted back to not liking myself. Because, honestly, I don't like myself and can't see why anyone would.
I need to start to speak life into myself again. Things like "The Lord loves me with an everlasting love and has promised to give me a future and a hope (Jeremiah 31:3)" and "I am a new creation in Christ; old things have passed away and all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17)." When I read through all these different decrees, I find that they come directly against all the negative things I have begun to believe about myself again. I do not like who I have become...but if I begin to speak God's truth into my life again, He will work things out on the inside. His word is powerful.
