Insecurities.

This week I've been dog sitting for my cousin, which includes living on my own for a week. It's given me a lot of time to chat to God and reflect on my relationship with him. I was thinking about the latest next step meetings where we spoke about queries we have in our relationship with God. A subject that came up was Insecurities. 

Insecurity and self conciousness is something that everybody Christian or non-christian deals goes through. Be it through your height, weight, eye colour, hair colour, the clothes you wear, how you act around others. I think it's something that only an individual can sort out. Only the person can feel comfortable in their own skin. It really angers me when people compare themselves to people on the tv in magazines, complaining that they don't look the same. There are things that we can do to stop ourselves feeling uncomfortable in ourselves. 

We need to remember that the longer we spend looking in the mirror and hating what we see is time that we can't get back. If you think your fat when actually your a size 8, then thats just a perception of how you see yourself. If you feel that your personality is abit eccentric, thats a part of who you are, you shouldn't have to change to see others, but thats moving onto a different topic. 

What I'm trying to say is insecurity is a horrible thing to have. Everyone suffers from it, but remember there are people out there that love you excactly how you are. So whenever you feel down about yourself, think of one person that loves you for exactly that. Remember that your height is something that you've been given so use it to your advantage, find your talents and remember that feeling insecure is wasting time you'll never get back. It wont be easy, but it is sure better than worrying.
