I'm reading the YouVersion plan 'No More Self-Hate'.
https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/30381
You know, until I started reading it, I didn’t realize how deeply planted the root of self hatred was in me. I knew I struggled with it and I took it before the Lord, but I didn’t really see just how deep it went.
You see, many of us have sins in our lives that we don’t even realize we have until the Holy Spirit brings it into the light.
But there’s an important point we can’t miss. Yes, as people, we struggle with sin, but there is another aspect we cannot miss.
Demons feed off our sin. What can start as fleshly sin problem, the demons can turn into something that completely controls us. They know that if they can get our lives to be consumed by sin, we will put more time into encouraging that sin and less time walking in the purpose that God has called us to.
By snatching that single moment of weakness, the demons can turn us away from our purpose by deceiving us into thinking that we aren’t worthy enough, not experienced enough, that we didn’t hear God the way we thought we did.
But there’s one and only one thing we need to do. We need to seek God and all that sinful control will no longer have the control. God will. That self hatred will change to joy, identity, and love in Christ Jesus our Lord. Jesus is Lord. Satan is not. We cannot serve two masters faithfully.
(Ephesians 6:12)
