From the book:
“The message of this poem came from somewhere deep in a long-ago wound. I made the blunder of believing the love I shared was something it was not, and it led to years of struggle and conflict. I listened to the lies fostered by our society and my abuser, and I lied to myself. Please, don’t do that. Rather, learn what God says about how He sees you, and believe that. It is true.
“There is an interesting story about this encouragement verse. At one time, my vignettes played on a radio station in St. Louis, Missouri. One of the set times occurred during a specific program, which on this particular day was focused on a ministry that rescued women from prostitution. One of the guests had just finished describing her valuable work and requested help from the audience in order for her work to continue. The program went to a break, and “Don’t Listen to the Lies” aired. I happened to be listening to the show as I was driving to downtown St. Louis, my heart breaking for the women the show’s guest was describing, when I recognized my own voice saying, ‘The encouragement verse for today is, “Don’t Listen to the Lies.”‘ I was overwhelmed.” (Taylor, Joy S., Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing, 2026, Lily of the Valley Publishing Services, Indiana, p. 26)
Come and join me on this journey of God’s healing. May a piece of my past lead you to a better future through God’s intervention. Read. Pray. Heal.
