Because I do.
Lie to myself.
“One more bite won’t hurt me.” “I will stop tomorrow.” “It’s not that bad.”
“I could never forgive….” “God isn’t going to come through for me this time.” “I’m all alone.”
The messages played in the mind which justify, condemn, persuade, and lie.
Stuck instead of free.
“…Encourage me by Your word. Keep me from lying to myself.” And “I will walk in freedom as I devote myself to Your ways.” Psalm 119:28, 29, 45, NLT.
