The Crossing
a series on being honest about mental health
Satan surrounds us with three lies:
The first lie we tend to believe is that my life is meaningless,
worthless, and so what’s the point?
Last week Jerry spoke about the first lie that Satan tells us. He tells us that we are meaningless or that we are worthless.
The second lie that Satan whispers to us is that we are ruined.
The hardest part of this, is that the very part of our body that is being attacked is also the very same brain that is making the decisions about the path forward.
