Whose Report Do You Believe?

Cindy, adopted at birth, always sensed an unshakable feeling of not belonging, despite the love and care of her adoptive parents. Growing up without knowledge of her biological roots, she longed to discover her appearance and heritage. These sentiments lingered into adulthood, even through marriage and motherhood. The persistent question of identity haunted her, feeling akin to a stray dog briefly entering a farmyard and then disappearing.

Inner Battle

“She grew up not knowing her biological roots.  She longed to know if she looked like someone.  She always felt she shouldn’t be here, that she was an accident, that she didn’t belong”. 

The search

Her quest for her biological family commenced, leading her to her successful businessman biological father, who callously denied any knowledge of her. Undeterred, she reached out to her biological mother, who confirmed the relationship but deemed it an accident, expressing no desire for a connection and bidding farewell. “Yes, you are my daughter, said the woman. But it was an accident, it should not have happened”.

Dealing with Rejection

Confronting the deep sense of rejection, Cindy turned to God, seeking guidance on handling the overwhelming emotions and thoughts. In a divine revelation, God presented a balance scale, weighing the lies implanted in her before birth against His truth and promises:

God’s Truth

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you – Jeremiah 1:4. Do not fear, for I have redeemed you – Isaiah 43:1. I know the plans that I have for you – Jeremiah 29:11. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb – Psalm 31:15. My times are in your hands.

The Enemy’s Lies

You are a mistake. You should not be here. You don’t belong. You are an accident. You have no real family name. Abandon not wanted. You are a burden, a disappointment…an intrusion.

The underlying question for us all is: What beliefs govern our lives? Have we ever wondered which belief truly governs our life? It’s a question worth pondering. Understanding the belief that shapes our thoughts and actions and knowing which to permit a stay and which to evict is crucial to living a victorious life.

So, God posed a crucial question to her: where do you stand? Do you believe in the enemy’s lies or embrace God’s truth? Cindy chose the Word of God, and the doubts that plagued her for years vanished, along with the profound sense of abandonment.

It is greatly rewarding to stay with God who spoke into our existence. To find meaning, direction, and fulfillment in life, we must reject every silent killer voice and embrace God’s spoken truths.

As of this moment, God still cares about our souls. And for His plan and purpose to come to pass in our lives, we must be on the same page with Him, believing His faithfulness above all
