THE BIG LIE
A poem and essay by ILMA
What lies have you been told since you were young?
How has the enemy manipulated you to do wrong?
Mankind suffered because the big lie was so enticing
Adam and Eve couldn’t resist the devil’s incessant tempting
He lied and enticed them to have equality with their maker
It led them to doubt and shame when they faced the Father
When you hear untrue things that lead you to sin
Run to the bible, be convicted, confess, and be redeemed.
________________________________________
In every sin or suffering in our lives is a big lie lurking within. As a child, I constantly heard that I was ugly. The people around me called me names. It made me believe the lie for many years and I embraced it. It got me confused later on when I started to have many suitors at the start of my early teen years. I had to prove these boys and men that I don’t deserve their attention since I was ugly and that they are only chasing me to give in to sex. One lie, led to many other lies.
The bible talks about the big lie Adam and Eve fell prey for. If you stay in God’s truth, the lie will be exposed.
PRAYER
Give me wisdom to abide in you always.
REFLECTION
What lies were you freed from after God’s convictions?
