you can’t make another person feel worthy or like their life matters or situations will get better - only God can. The best we can do for a person is point them to Jesus.
I lived it for decades. It was all in my head, tapes going around my brain, filter I ran everything thru, victim, useless, I can’t change, God made me this way, etc.
In my experience a new mind, godly/biblical views on yourself, seeing and accepting real truth about things, is a process God takes a person thru ONLY if they are willing.
All the nice things people said toward me my old mind twisted to make them lies too.
For me, I had to flood my mind with scriptures regarding it and basically beg God repeatedly to change me and my mind to be as He wanted. Over time He did and then it seemed sudden everything ran thru a new filter and made more sense I had real joy even in bad moments, people’s compliments I allowed myself to accept - I had to learn to live free of the old mind/views.
Many people even some believers are still stuck in their old mind and ways of thinking - never really being as useful to God as they could be if they would fully turn their mind over to HIM, so He could show them bigger purposes for their lives than they could ever imagine.
True. Well said.
