A recurring theme over the past few weeks for me has been this...dont give up fighting for what you believe in and what you want in life. Too often I think we can easily give up on these things that are so central to who we are as a person, be it because it is just easier to or because Satan gets into our thoughts and makes us believe we are silly or wrong for wanting such things. He is a deceiver and quite frankly, a wretched stink and I hate seeing the damage he causes in our lives! I hate seeing him tear apart relationships, bring down people's self-image and isolate people. It seems he will go to almost any lengths to win over you in these areas...but we need to be reminded that God wont let us be succumbed to any more than we can handle. Aside from this, we also have a choice to fight back. If you are lonely, dont put up with it! Make that effort to connect with people - go out of your way! If you are struggling with temptation...FIGHT back...dive into God's word and allow Him to work in your heart to bring you back to healing and on the path to purity....If you are feeling worthless, ugly or depressed about life and what you are doing...remember God's promise that you are made in His image and HE has a perfect plan for your life. Trust in God for the desires of your heart, but remember also to get out there and help yourself! There are things you can do to make your situation better....but always draw near to God and He will make your paths straight and your heart whole.
