Insecurities plague so many people and it honestly saddens me. Insecurities are like a dark, and cold prison, without hope. If you struggle with any type of insecurity I want you to know that there is hope. Don't stay stuck in this prison, it's not worth it.
I want you to contemplate some things with me.
1) You have been Created by the Creator of the world. He cares about you and loves you.
It says in Matthew 10:29-31 "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
Look at that. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, says that God knows when a sparrow falls to the ground and yet YOU are worth more than many sparrows. Don't ever doubt that He cares about you and that you have worth.
2) Think of this, what is something you really good at? Maybe something you can create. A painting, a song, a decorated room, a poem, a cooked meal, a fixed car. Anything. Now imagine how it feels when someone belittles your work. Yeah, that's not a great feeling is it? Now imagine that your work was belittling itself. That saddens you, doesn't it?
Now remember these feelings and let's switch the tables a bit.
Who created YOU? How many times a day do you belittle yourself? Your looks, your adequacy, your knowledge,...the list goes on. Now back to Who created you....Who are you to say that you have the authority to decide whether or not our Perfect God's handy work is good or bad? No, we aren't perfect, we are born into sin, but our Perfect God did create us. Isn't that enough? He took time to create you. YOU. He knows every path you will take in life. Every time you will stray from Him and every time you will come running back. He knows everything about you. Everything. He's still there for you. He's not leaving you. He still has plans for you. He is still using you. By your standards and how you see yourself would you stick around like that? I didn't think so. Your Creator more than sticks around and yet you do this to yourself....
I want you to ask yourself this question - Do you want to continue living in this prison of insecurities or, would you rather get out of it and rejoice in the fact that YOU are loved and cared for by YOUR Creator?
Make your decision wisely. God can get you through anything and everything, don't let insecurities come inbetween you and Him.
I pray that this impacts someone. At least in the smallest of ways.
I was once trapped in the prison of insecurities and I thank God that He pulled me out of that hopeless place.
I pray that you will also know that joy of the freedom you feel when you set aside your insecurities.
Love,
