You Can't Make Me

Here is a thought that I think everyone needs to absorb.

NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL ANYTHING!!!!

You might hear someone say, "They make me feel so inadequate." Or "I feel like a failure when I am around that person."

Someone may treat you horribly but only you can feel horrible when they do. You need to hold on to who you are. You need to choose to accept only GOD'S approval of you. You do not ever need to believe in the lies that pull you down and cause you to feel like a failure. You need to choose joy and confidence.

Below is a new song by Skillet it has been a great example to me of how I felt 3 years ago when I realized that I was allowing myself to be abused. I have been holding on to the truth of this idea when I am working on relationships that need healing now.

It is obvious that this is a breakup song. I don't intend to use it that way. I am just making a point that you can't allow others to make you feel bad. You have the power to choose to feel good no matter how others are treating you.



Let's get the story straight
You were a poison
You flooded through my veins
You left me broken
You tried to make me think
That the blame was all on me
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's
not me it's you

It's not me It's you
Always has been you
All the lies and stupid things
you say and do
It's you
It's not me It's you
All the lies and pain
you put me through

I know that It's not me
It's you You
You
It's not me
It's you,
you

So here we go again
The same fight we're always in
I don't care so why pretend
Wake me when your lecture ends
You tried to make me small
Make me fall and it's
all your fault
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that
It's not me it's you

Let's get the story straight
You were a poison
Flooding through my veins
Driving me insane
And now you're gone away
I'm no longer choking
From the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's
not me it's you
