In order for us to overcome our insecurities we first have
to understand that there is a lot more than how we are feeling. Too much
emphasis is being placed on how we feel these days. What if you had felt like not
praying anymore, what do you think would happen? What if you felt like not waking
up on time for work in the mornings, what would eventually happen? We cannot
just live by our feelings as God has given us the anointing which enables us to
do whatever he wants us to do. It may be preaching, singing, dancing, baking, cooking
or even being a parent. We are not just anointed for spiritual things, but
everything that we do is spiritual to God as long as we are using it to to bring glory
to his name.
In order for us to not go by how we feel, we need to desist from
comparing ourselves with others who have their own anointing. We wish we were able
to preach, sing or dance like them but the fact is that we may never be able to.
We should therefore use what God has given, to bring honor and glory to him. You
do not have to feel confident in order to present yourself in a confident
manner. God wants us to be bold and do whatever he has given us to do boldly. By
doing this, God will gradually transform our lives and open doors for us that
we never knew existed.
There are times when we may feel as if we are less valuable
than the person who has a long list of qualifications behind their name or the
person who is in a way higher position at work than we are. God sees none of
that but instead sees all of us as one. God values no man more that the other.
God has made great investments for each one of us as he sent his own son to die
for our sins and loves us regardless of how often we fail him. God has a plan
for each one of us but in order for it to be revealed, we need to quit shying
away from what he wants us to do and make ourselves readily available to work
for him.
We should never determine our worth based on how we were
treated by others or by what they think of us. There are times when those
individuals are carrying along their own pain and in return will intentionally seek
to hurt us. We should just let it go and forgive them as it makes no sense to
hold bitterness in our hearts. Storing up this bitterness and anger will result
in us hurting others as well.
