There are lies we tell ourselves that create havoc in our lives. Some lies we're taught as truths when we're young, like "if a boy is mean to you he must like you". No, this just means the boy is mean and not worth your time. We accept the things that tear us apart like this because we believe we do not deserve better and that is the greatest lie we tell ourselves.
The greatest liar, of course, is the devil. He will come to tell you that you are not worthy. He will convince you that you are not... good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, talented enough, thin enough, personable enough... You will not only believe these lies, but you will repeat them to yourself like a mantra at times in your life.
It does not make them true - the fact is far from it! You are enough. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, perfect just the way God designed you. So perfect in fact, he would die for you.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. - Psalm 139:14
