I am just A LITTLE insecure

This concept is not 'news' to me. It is something I had trouble with and if I am to be honest, it is something that I deal with on a daily basis. I think its a state of mind, if you ask me. I will tell you this because since I changed my thoughts about myself and how I view myself, I have become a different person. I am not about to give you a list on how to overcome insecurities, no way. Mainly because I do not really know the step by step process on how one can overcome it and quite frankly, that is a whole scenario that seems way too boring for me to write about. I just want to tell you about YOUR WORTH.

Have you heard...you are beautiful. Just a quick question, on a scale of 1-10 how much do you think you are worth? In a world we live in, it is so easy to lose sight of our worth and compare our behind-the-scenes with somebody else's filtered to perfection appearance. That is not okay. We live in a society that prives on outward appearance, the number of followers you have and whether you can keep up with the latest trends. Those are issues of the world, but you are not of the world. You have been set apart so you do not have to conform to these assumptions. But the question remains, why are we insecure?

I think the main reason why we feel insecure and suffer from atelophobia (This is a word I have just added to my vocabulary and honestly, I am happy I did because then I would learn how to get over it) is that we do not know and understand our self worth. Don't you believe that if you knew your worth that you would have the power to control your attitude? As much as we hate to admit, a positive perception of yourself leads to a positive life and attitude. So with that, what is your perception of yourself? On a scale of 1-10, what is your worth? Although there is not an exact right or wrong answer to this question because it is strongly based on opinion  I do think that if you have an answer that is below a 10 then you are wrong! Think about it, God (The Creator of both heaven and earth) created you in His likeness and thought you were GOOD then why would you think any less of yourself? If that is not enough, God makes it clear by letting you know that you are worth far more than rubies (Proverbs 31;10). What more do we need? If God thinks we are a good creation then who are we to disqualify His opinion? You do so when you doubt your worth and think that you are NOT GOOD ENOUGH

If you have been feeling totally unworthy, unloved and unappreciated brothers and sisters I have news for you! God loves, values and appreciates you so much. The fact that God has his published opinion on you already disqualifies what everybody else's opinion about you is. I hope you understand that your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth. Having confidence then comes along with understanding your worth
As much as its important to be confident, there are levels to this. Being confident does not mean that you walk around putting people down, thinking you are better than everybody else and whatever. Oh no! It is far from this actually. Being self confident has to do with understanding that you matter even in the midst of other people and doing so without having to compare yourself to others. I have provided you with this list that distinguishes between a confident and an insecure person. I challenge you to identify the traits that describe you as either the former or the latter. Do not be dismayed if you realize that you suffer from insecurities, no. You can change the type of person that you are by changing your thoughts and perception of yourself. Try looking at yourself through God's perfect eyes and watch how your life changes!
