Part 1

Here is something of insecurity. Apparent an INFJ by Myers Briggs, I would have myself go crazy literally caring about, pretty much everything. It is hard to ignore things and just relax. Insecurity is pretty bad when hungry, cold and also in the presence of many people who are oblivious and unhappy. What does one then do about it?

Turn to God. Jimmy Evans brought it to my attention when he talked about "Overcoming comparison". Not just turn to God but there is something in our relationship with God that is not going to work if we are covetous and unhappy with ourselves. Everybody has pain and wants to know deep within his/his self that they are loved equally or more, have more, are smarter/as smart, wiser and we could go on. We could overcome comparison by thanking God for who has made us, being thankful for who we are for there is a purpose only we can fulfill. Only we can do the best job at being us so lets be the best me we can be.  We are unique, fearfully and wonderfully made therefore we praise God. We don't let the enemy beat us down and make us bring others down to feel we are better. You may think this is something you could never do but think about it, when a friend gets that thing we care most about and we see ourselves without it, (not necessarily talking about a material object here) we might feel something there about it.

 The key is trusting God that he has you in the palm of his hand and will take care of you. Bless other people, let God bless other people or he will not bless us the way we want. Give and encourage. When one person rejoices, you also rejoice, when one is sorrowful, you also weep. If we need a blessing we need to let people be blessed and thank the Father for everything, everything, even those circumstances we feel are unfair, we thank him. Worry, insecurity shall have no place in our lives in Jesus Name.
