While pondering this one, the only thought that came to my mind was:
I did try to think of something that would qualify as my biggest insecurity, and the more I thought it through, the more I realized how much God has helped me there, and I won't pretend to be insecure about something that no longer bothers me. I've had my fair share of emotional insecurities with fearing rejection, not standing up for myself, feeling that my personality was too weak, etc.... but there are no pictures for that, and focusing on God's truth has brought healing and restored my identity and boldness in Him! As for physical insecurities, I am working (with God's help) toward losing weight and staying free from sinful eating patterns, and I've never loved my nose or ankles... but overall, I have learned to be less self-conscious and I'm pretty happy and confident being the woman God created me to be! Also, I haven't been down on myself or insecure about being single for a while now...
I believe in speaking Scripture out loud through the day, and that making a habit of that will change and renew your mindset because the Word is ALIVE. Insecurity was a real struggle for me, so "The Lord is my security" and "I am complete in Christ" are two verses that I've quoted often... and in trying to write this post, I'm more aware that it's becoming a reality in my heart! So if I draw near and abide in Christ, there is not a thing that can alter that or take it away. And I praise God for that!!!
