A Sad Cycle

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Over and over again I’ve seen a destructive cycle that leads women into bondage. First, a lie is planted in our mind.

Woman: When I was six, I don’t remember who said it, but I was told that I had no right to be born.

Nancy: Instead of countering the lie with the truth of God’s Word, we dwell on it and start to believe it.

Woman: I thought I was stupid—that I wasn’t normal.

Nancy: Eventually we act on the lie . . .

Woman: I withdrew and had a really hard time talking with people.

Nancy: . . .and we find ourselves in bondage.

Woman: I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up.

Nancy: Now, here’s the truth. When God sent Jesus to this earth to bear your sin, He declared the value of your soul to be greater than the value of the whole world. First John says, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”

And that’s the truth. With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
