We can easily spot when others are “just lying to themselves” but it’s harder to see in ourselves. I’m the first to admit, I like a good pity party and I can wallow like nobody’s business! But pity parties are exhausting! They drain the life out of us and everyone we know. It’s no way to live, especially as a child of God. We’ve been set free and equipped by the indwelling Spirit of God to tell and live a better story with our lives!
