I thought I would share a shortcoming of mine with you. I have always been insecure. I have always worried about making other people happy, doing the right thing and being liked.
I get nervous when I am meeting new people. That cracks up my friend Leslie because she says I am really out going and easy to talk too. I of course want people to like me and worry that I am not good enough. Things have changed over the years. I don’t get as tramatized as I use too. I have been known to sit in my car and talk to God for a long time before going into a gathering though.
I know that He doesn’t want me to live this way. I also know that He loves me and that supercedes everybody else’s opinion. I don’t want insecurity to define me anymore. I have been studying Who I Am In Christ for awhile now and INSECURE isn’t on the list. If you suffer from insecurity, I totally know how you feel! Here is just one of the many scripture that tells us we are important to God. If you need more don’t hesitate to ask. I have them.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me. – Psalm 139:17-18
Tell me that isn’t awesome scripture….When I wake up you are still with me! Amen
Hope everybody has a blessed weekend!
Funny how easy it is to say things on a blog over saying it in person. No need for insecurity with this bunch
I do not know ONE woman who hasn’t struggled with this…I fight it off all.the.time.
Don’t bite the hook, sister. You are NOT the sum total of other people’s opinions!!
Isn’t that just one of the worst? I struggle with that as well. Better now than I used to be.
That is an amazing scripture you shared. Thank you, it is a much needed reminder.
