Sometimes being single is hard. It leaves a longing in your soul for companionship. It also opens up a weakness that Satan uses to drill his lies into our minds.
I've had my share of lies to drag me down in the dirt. I still have problems with the scars these lies have left behind.
One lie that still haunts me today is: No man will ever love me.
This lie was whispered in my ear at the time of birth. I hear it any time I look at a man and think Maybe I could be good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough...etc. for him.Then I remind myself that I could never be any of those things because I believe the lie that no man will ever love me.

Another lie that was branded in my mind: You're all alone.
I can be surrounded by family and friends and still feel more alone than when I lived a few states away. I'm afraid that I'll end up alone because no man will ever love me. Sometimes the pain is so great that it feels like it'll crush me.

But how do we bring truth instead of lies into our lives? Is there hope? I mean these lies have been with me from the moment I was born into sin, so there's no help for it...right?
That's the biggest lie that Satan tells us. He thinks if he can steal our hope that there's no coming back from his terror. But we do have hope.
God sent His only son, Jesus Christ to wipe the sins away from us. He created the word in six days just by speaking it into existence! Surely he can send a man to love me. That can't be nearly as hard as say...human creation. God is always with us. He's with me right now cheering this blog post on.
The only way to fight the lies from Satan is with God's truth!
Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Isaiah 34:16 Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his mouth that has given the order, and his spirit will gather them together.
These three verses easily destroy all the lies that Satan has tried to destroy me with. I find hope in them and know that God is working on my life every second of every day. I will overcome these lies.
