Story Behind the Essence

Flip It. There are sneaky, sly ways the devil tries to ruin our lives. Most of the time, we don’t even know it!

For instance, your mother says to you when you are 7, “I just don’t love your father anymore, that’s why I’m leaving.” Which in turn, makes you think the rest of your life, that people will leave, that you need to leave before they do, that people can and probably will, just not love you anymore.

Or how about that horrible way of thinking, “kids are resilient, they bounce back. They’ll be ok.” Many kids don’t “bounce back”. They internalize their feelings. Some act out, some become very reserved and through either way begins the other emotional problems. Then parents and other adults wonder why Katie is sullen and doing poorly in school, or why Mark is acting like the school clown or getting into fights or why Emma is angry, picks at her food or is promiscuous. Kids do not “bounce back”. A divorce wrecks their world and their life. Constantly moving to new schools disrupts their lives. It gives them no stability.

These actions are all ploys of the devil to steal happiness, kill hope and destroy people’s sense of stable sanity.

Yet, for very many people, they feel they can’t trust anyone and because of that, they feel they can’t call on anyone for help. Not their parents, not siblings, not friends. For some, they don’t know how to ask for help, others don’t know they need help.

So what has Satan done to most people on earth? Caused them troubles. So what we need to learn to do in all things negative, is to FLIP IT. Anything negative is not from God. Anything.

The Lord convicts. He doesn’t make us feel guilty, or bad about ourselves or want to kill ourselves. He doesn’t shame us. He never has someone say to us, ‘shame on you’. That’s not God working through that person.

So when someone says, “shame on you” flip it! “No shame here,” you reply.

When thoughts come that you are unloved, flip it. “I AM loved. Jesus loves me.”

When thoughts come that you are unworthy, flip it. “I am worthy and worthwhile. In fact, I’m the apple of God’s eye.” Deuteronomy 32:10

Instead of frowning, smile. Instead of snapping to anger, flip it and laugh, even if you have to force a laugh. Look up instead of down.

“Two men looked out through prison bars, one saw mud, the other stars.” Dale Carnegie
