The forum Post submitted was by a young lady and this is what she siad:
I want to be real with y’all for a minute because I feel like somebody else might be going through this same fight in their mind. For the longest time, the devil kept whispering to me that my body wasn’t good enough. He tried to convince me that I needed to “fix” myself, that I should go get surgery to make my butt bigger so I could fit into what this world says is attractive. And honestly? Those thoughts started to weigh on me heavy. I would look in the mirror and instead of thanking God for what He gave me, I started picking myself apart piece by piece.
It’s wild how slick the enemy can be. He won’t come at you with a red suit and horns—nah, he slides in with little lies that sound like your own thoughts. Stuff like, “If you had a bigger butt, people would respect you more.” Or, “Nobody will look at you twice unless you look like those girls on Instagram.” And when you hear those lies long enough, you start to wonder if maybe it’s true.
But one day, I just got fed up. I was sitting there scrolling through pictures of women who had surgery, and I felt this pressure in my chest, like I wasn’t enough. And then it hit me—I said out loud, “Devil, you’re a liar.” I had to speak it because keeping it in my head wasn’t enough. I told him, “Everything God made on me is good. He didn’t make a mistake when He created me. My body is His temple, and I’m not about to let you make me tear it down just to meet your standard.”
That moment was freeing. I started to realize that the devil wants us to hate ourselves, because if we hate ourselves, we’ll never walk in the confidence God has for us. If we’re busy comparing, we can’t be busy living. And if we’re busy trying to fix what isn’t broken, we’ll never see the beauty in what already is.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging anybody who decides to get surgery. Everybody’s walk is different. But for me, the truth is I wanted surgery because I was believing lies. I wasn’t doing it out of love for myself; I was doing it out of hate for myself. And hate never produces peace.
Since then, I’ve started to change how I talk to myself. When I look in the mirror, I try to thank God for the things I used to complain about. My thighs? Strong and able to carry me through life. My stomach? Yeah, it ain’t flat, but it’s held me up through sickness, stress, and everything in between. My butt? Maybe it’s not the “perfect” shape, but it’s mine, and God said it was good when He made it.
The enemy wants us stuck in this cycle of never being satisfied. But God says we are fearfully and wonderfully made. That’s not just pretty words—that’s truth. And I had to let that truth sink in deeper than the lies.
I’ve started catching myself whenever that old voice creeps in. Like if I see some post that makes me think, “Dang, maybe I need to change something,” I stop and ask, “Who said that? Did God say that, or did the enemy?” Nine times out of ten, it’s the enemy trying to get me back into that trap.
So today, I just want to encourage whoever is reading this: don’t let the devil tell you you’re not enough. Don’t let him trick you into thinking you’ve got to change what God already called good. If you’re going to change something, do it because you love yourself, not because you hate yourself. And remember, the devil is always going to be a liar, but God’s word never lies.
I’m still learning, still growing, and some days the fight is harder than others. But every day I choose to tell that voice to shut up and remind myself: I am exactly who God made me to be, and that is enough.
Thanks for letting me share this. I hope it helps somebody who might be battling the same lies I was. You are more than enough, just as you are.

Ya Girl Renae shares her thoughts on Louis post! Louis Writes 

Hey everyone, it’s Louis. I wanted to share something real that happened to me the other day while I was praying. Maybe some of you have gone through the same thing. I sat down, ready to pray, ready to give God my time, and right when I started, I started hearing this negative voice. It wasn’t God. It wasn’t peace. It was the enemy trying to creep in, reminding me of every bad thing I’ve ever done, making me feel like I wasn’t worthy enough to even talk to God. 

At first, I felt crushed by it. You know that heavy weight that just sits on your chest? That voice telling you, “You messed up too much. You’ll never be forgiven. You can’t pray. God doesn’t want to hear you.” I felt all of that. But after I sat with it for a second, I realized something: this is exactly what the enemy does. This is his trick. He tries to shut you down by throwing your past in your face. He tries to make you feel small, weak, and scared so you’ll give up before you even get close to God.

And you know what? That just showed me that the enemy is real, but even more, it showed me that God must be up to something in my life. Why else would the enemy fight me so hard when I’m just trying to pray?
Here’s the truth I’ve learned: God is saying the opposite of what the enemy says. The enemy says, “You’re unworthy.” God says, “You are mine.” The enemy says, “Remember your past?” God says, “I already forgave that.” The enemy says, “You can’t do it.” God says, “Through Christ, you can do all things.”........

The enemy plants the seed, but it is often we—the people—who give that seed the soil it needs to grow. This is why we must be extremely careful about what we allow to take place in our lives. The Word of God makes it clear: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10, NIV). The enemy’s agenda is plain, but so is God’s promise.

  The reality is that we do not have to be victims of the enemy’s schemes. The battle we face is not against flesh and blood—it’s not a physical war. It is a spiritual battle, one that requires discernment, self-control, and the unwavering power of God’s Spirit. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Too often, we focus on what people have done to us, but the truth is deeper—there’s a spiritual strategy at work, trying to pull us out of God’s will and purpose. The seed of destruction might come as temptation, doubt, bitterness, or fear. But a seed will not grow unless it’s given attention, water, and care.

You may feel like you're getting away with wrongdoing, but understand this—your time is coming. Many people fail to realize that it is only by God's mercy that they are allowed to continue for a season without consequence. But make no mistake: God is not mocked. Every deed—whether seen or unseen, big or small—will one day be brought into the light and judged righteously. Some even go as far as to pray to God, asking Him not to let them get caught, while continuing in deception.

But Scripture is clear: "Everything done in darkness will be revealed in the light." You cannot hide from an all-knowing God. He is truth, and He will not contradict His nature or lie for anyone.  God, in His wisdom, often allows the very evil you've sown to become the tool for your correction. He may instruct you to make things right with someone, to tell the truth, or to repent for harm you've caused—even if that person is unaware of your actions. And if you refuse, don’t be surprised if you find yourself betrayed in the same way you once betrayed another. That’s not coincidence—it’s divine justice. God doesn’t allow harm to go unresolved forever. He may use the wrongdoing you've committed—or the pain caused by others—as a means to restore order, teach humility, and reveal truth. In His perfect timing, every hidden thing will be exposed. The choice is always yours: humble yourself and correct your path, or wait for God to do it for you.

In 1 Samuel 1, we meet Hannah, a woman deeply grieved by her inability to conceive. Year after year, she wept and prayed to the Lord, pouring out her soul in desperation. And the Bible says: “The Lord remembered her. So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son” (1 Samuel 1:19-20). That son was Samuel, one of the greatest prophets of Israel. Similarly, Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was barren into her old age. She laughed in disbelief when God promised her a son.

Yet, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14). In God’s appointed time, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, the child of promise. Rebekah, Rachel, Manoah’s wife, and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, were all barren at one point—but the Lord opened their wombs. These stories were not just about producing children; they were about revealing the power, mercy, and perfect timing of God. If you are asking, “Will the Lord give me a child?”, know that you are not alone. Your cry is ancient, and it has been heard before.

 Psalm 113:9 says, “He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children.” This scripture is not a guarantee of how or when, but it is a promise that God sees your pain and has not forgotten you. The journey may involve waiting, surrender, or even receiving in unexpected ways. But your identity is not found in your ability to conceive—your identity is rooted in being a child of God. Whether through natural conception, healing, adoption, or spiritual motherhood, God has a plan for you. Keep praying, keep believing, and trust that His heart is tender toward yours.
