Insecurity.
What's up homies. I wanted to write again soooo here I am. I had three things I wanted to write about 1. Confidence and 2. Insecurity..... oxymorons I know. The last idea I had was simply what's been going down in the life of Ella this year... I decided on number 2. ;)
What is insecurity? The dictionary says insecurity is "uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence. The synonyms are self-doubt, diffidence, unassertiveness, timidity, uncertainty, nervousness, inhibition".
Why do we get insecure? Honestly, I am constantly insecure. Insecurity is a HUGE struggle for me. So no, I am not just this little, confident, firecracker, girl, who has the opportunity to sing on stage. I am just going, to be honest with myself and whoever is reading this. If you tell yourself "I am not enough, they are better, prettier, smarter, and more talented than me." you will begin to believe that. What you tell yourself, what you meditate, what you let others say to you, has power. Surround yourself with those who speak life.
QUESTION. By saying and believing that you are NOT enough, are you saying God messed up when he created you? Are you the exception to Psalm 139:1-3
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."
YOU ARE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE, AND HE DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES. YOU ARE NOT THE EXCEPTION. YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. GOD KNITTED YOU TOGETHER IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB.
Insecurity is a REAL thing, I know. I also know it ain't going away overnight. But when you know that your heavenly father created you perfect in his image, what other opinion matters?
