Have you ever felt beat up by your insecurities? I know I
have. Sometimes I feel like they eat me alive. Thoughts of
self-doubt and negativity swirling around in my mind over and over feeling as
if there is no escape. Analyzing and reanalyzing my every move, words,
thoughts. Over and over and over and over again until I find myself
completely exhausted. Exhaustion that extends beyond my body to my mind,
my heart, and my soul. Sound familiar?
When I am plagued with insecurity it feels like I am fighting a
losing battle, oftentimes with no hope of recovery. I hate insecurity,
but I hate Satan even more for tempting us to think of ourselves as less than
who we are. When I am in the
midst of the battle, I have to remind myself that Satan is my enemy, as opposed to those I am tempted to compare myself to or even myself who I am tempted to
continuously beat up with self-doubt and hurtful words.
It is so hard not to fall into the trap of believing Satan's lies,
but I am pleading with you not to listen. He is referred to as the father
of lies (John 8:44) and will do all within his power to tear you down, but God always
provides a way out of temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). When you feel like you’re being eaten alive
by insecurities, take time to pray, call a friend, or remind yourself about what
God says about you...
You are loved (Psalm 100:5).
You are beautiful (Psalm 139:14).
You are never alone (Deuteronomy 31:8).
You have worth and value (Matthew 10:29-31).
Lies must be fought with the Truth.
Don’t give up.
Keep fighting.
The Truth will win.
Beauty Tip #7:
Spend at least fifteen minutes this week reading about what God says
about you.
