You started to believe all the lies that he's been feeding you. I mean, at first you were able to handle it. But after the thirtieth time, after fortieth time, after the sixtieth time, you started to believe that you were too stupid, that you were too weak, that you didn't have anything going for you. And God just wanted to remind you that none of that is true. You are His child, and you are His creation. He knitted you together in your mother's womb. He pieced you together bit by bit. You belong to Him. You may not know your parents, you may not know your mom or your daddy, but you have a Father in heaven who loves you. Please believe He calls you His own. You are His child
