I struggle. There are many (many many many) times when I wonder if Abba has forgotten me. I'm just being honest. If you're like me, there have been times when I really thought Abba made a HUGE mistake when He decided that I was to be born.
After all, who am I that Abba should care? This is a whispered lie told to us by our enemy! When we are hurting, the whispers are there of "Abba doesn't care about you." When you are stressed and anxious, the whispers are there of "Guess Abba is too busy to help the likes of you." When we face tragedies in life, the whispers are there of "See? What have I been telling you? You don't matter to Abba!"
The whispers are real and they are deceptive. They drip with poison. They are like millions of needles adding you the pain. And they are LIES!!
Years ago, don't ask me how many, I read a study where psychologists took a group of kids and divided them into two groups based on their IQ. The group with the higher IQ was told every day that they would not succeed and would not amount to anything. The group with the lower IQ were told exactly the opposite, that they would succeed and they were going to be amazingly successful. At first, the first group did perform quite well, having the higher IQ. While the second group struggled. However, within a year the second group had become the success while the first group struggled.
When we are told something enough times, we begin to perform based on what we are told. Therefore, when the Whisperer tells us over and over lies about Abba, eventually they will take hold of us if we are not watchful. Be careful to what you listen! Remember, Abba does care and love you! He allowed His own Son to pay our way. And always remember, what Abba has planned...NOTHING can stop it or change it!
