the truth

I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.

- 2 Corinthians 6:18 (NJKV)

 

I think that there are very few people in the world that have not been bullied by someone at some point in their life.
It isn’t just the kid on the playground that pushes another kid down and steals their lunch money anymore.

It’s the co-worker that interrupts you nearly every time you try to speak.
It’s the teacher that humiliates a child in front of the class. 
The neighbor that insults you. 

The spouse that prohibits you from seeing your friends.
The family member that spreads gossip about you.
Bullies are no longer that kid on the playground, but people in our lives every day.
A person can only be bullied to the point of suicide, we hear about it all the time.
Some people have been told so many lies about themselves that they start to believe it.

What if I told you that you are the child of a King?
That you are the son or daughter of a mighty God? 

Here, let’s let Megan Woods tell you “The Truth”
How many times can you hear the same lie

Before you start to believe it?

The enemy keeps whisperin' to me

I swear these days it's all that I'm hearin'

I used to know who I was

Now I look in the mirror, and I'm not so sure

Lord, I don't wanna listen to the lies anymore

The truth is I am my Father's child

I make Him proud and I make Him smile

I was made in the image of a perfect King

He looks at me and wouldn't change a thing

The truth is I am truly loved

By a God who's good when I'm not good enough

I don't belong to the lies, I belong to You

And that's the truth

When I feel like there's so much noise

Livin' rent-free in my head

Heaven finds me in a still small voice

And it sounds like grace instead

You remind me who I am

When I look in the mirror, and I'm not so sure

Lord, I don't wanna listen to the lies anymore

The truth is I am my Father's child

I make Him proud and I make Him smile

I was made in the image of a perfect King

He looks at me and wouldn't change a thing

The truth is I am truly loved

By a God who's good when I'm not good enough

I don't belong to the lies, I belong to You

And that's the truth

I know who I am

'Cause I know who You are

And I hold Your truth inside of my heart

I know the lies are always gonna try and find me

But I've never been so sure

The truth is I am my Father's child

I make Him proud and I make Him smile

I was made in the image of a perfect King

He looks at me and wouldn't change a thing

The truth is I am truly loved

By a God who's good when I'm not good enough (not good enough)

I don't belong to the lies, I belong to You (I belong to You)

And that's the truth

Hmm

And that's the truth

Go listen to the song, it was just released in 2024, it is so powerful, the artist’s voice is almost haunting.  

This song was written by someone who knows what abuse is firsthand.
I think that there are very few people in the world that have not been bullied by someone at some point in their life.
If you are one of the few that has never been bullied, check yourself to make sure that you aren’t the bully.
