Your Place
Ever been “in a place” where you were scared someone would speak to you; yet sad because no one did?
Only If you have been there do you know. When you walk into a room and see that person alone; have you wondered why they are not talking to anyone? Why are they isolated from everyone else? We all have been on one side or the other in this case; some have been on both sides. Our insecurities can put us in a place where we really don’t want to be. Those insecurities and fears will then keep us in that place. Today send notice to those insecurities and fears that we will not stay here any longer. Don’t let those insecurities keep you in that place. Just because you have insecurities doesn’t mean you have to stay insecure. Know that everyone has some type of insecurity. Don’t every let your insecurity lead you to think you are the only that has fears or insecurities. Today is your day to break out of that place?

Let It All Hang Out
How do you recognize a person that is hurting on the inside? How do you know if the person sitting next to you right now is going through a really tough situation? Chances are if you around folk today that most of them are hurting in some way. There is a chance, too, that it could be you.
It can be hard sometimes to know if someone is going through a valley type situation because we hide it so well. We don’t want other to know that we don’t have it all together. We try to keep it a secret and make others think that we are tough. If we tell someone about our hurts, disappointments and fears then they may think less of us. Trust me, when we tell them is not when they find out about it. Most times those that know us already know when we are hurting and they too know fears. Truthfully though, does it really matter if they didn’t know? What if we were to open ourselves up and expose our inner most parts? Is getting all the mess out worse than dealing with them and living with them every day? For me I thought it was better to keep it all in, but I have realized that it is much better to get it out. It is true that you have to be careful who you open up to, but find that person. Talk to your spouse, your parents, a teacher, a coach, a pastor. Find that one person you can talk to and be safe.

Being Secure
Be secure in who you are so that other folks insecurities don’t bring you down.
When you allow what other people do or say dictate how you act; then they are controlling you. Insecure people are threatened by secure people. With this is mind, you have to be strong enough to not allow others to affect your attitude. I meet with people al the time that are so full of anger and hurt because of what someone else did. However, you can’t allow what others do control how you act. This is why being secure in who you are is so important. When someone leaves you out, doesn’t invite you to a party, talks about you behind your back; you never give it a second thought. You don’t show them that it bothers you, because it doesn’t. You flood them with forgiveness and kindness. You take the noble, the high road and do what’s right, no matter how it feels. Being secure is a must for a person of purpose. I encourage you today to step into your full destiny. Be secure in who you are and work on being who you were created to be. Are you secure in yourself?

Insecurity
We don’t have to be absorbed by our own feelings of insecurity.
We have areas of insecurity. There are many people that live their live according to their insecurities. They won’t start something new because they don’t think they can do it. They give up because they are controlled by insecurities. The way they treat and react to people are dictated by their insecurities. When you are controlled by insecurity you will not be able to treat people with respect and love. You will be more concerned with your own needs and desires. Insecurity will make you guarded and overprotective of yourself. You will think that everyone is against you and that no one wants to see you succeed. Insecurity will steal your joy and your peace. No relationship will be complete and whole as long as your insecurities are dominant. However, you don’t have to live this way. Find the source of your insecurity and destroy it. Mindsets established long ago may be the cause of the insecurity. Learn the truth of the matter and the situation. The truth will tear down the insecurity. Today is your day to begin living in the truth and not the lies of insecurity. Are you ready to deal with insecurity today?

Insecurities
We all have insecurities, so we use those insecurities to prevent us from trying because we don’t want to think of the consequences of trying and failing.
Many people feel inadequate to do anything for God. God doesn’t see you as inadequate, He sees you as complete. In the Bible, Gideon was hiding out from his enemies. He was afraid and didn’t feel equipped to do what God called him to do. Gideon was focused on his circumstances and his limitations, but God was focused on what He could do through Gideon. Gideon felt weak, but God saw him as strong. Gideon felt unqualified, but God saw him as ready to do the job. Gideon felt insecure, but God saw him as full of boldness. Sure enough, when Gideon obeyed God, against all odds, he ended in victory! What can God do through you? It isn’t about how qualified you feel. It isn’t about how talented you are; it’s really about how yielded you are. When you obey God, when you trust Him beyond trusting your circumstances, that’s when His power becomes available to you. That’s when He can work through you and bring about greatness in every area of your life. Are you willing to try in spite of your insecurities?

False Humility
Don’t let false humility keep you from sharing your best with the world. You are good enough, you do matter.. Yes you do!
False humility is another form of insecurity. Even when you see the proof of your gift, you still doubt in yourself. You have been blessed with gifts and talents. Don’t ever doubt God’s work in you. He has created you for a reason, for a reason. You have a mission in life. Don’t allow the enemy to steal your destiny because of self-doubt. False humility will rob you of what you are entitled. Go out each day, keep working your process, keep growing and learning. Never stop improving and getting better as a person. Eliminate the doubt from your life completely. Become the person that you are supposed to be. Make a difference in the world around you today. Be the best you that you can be. Don’t stop believing in yourself. Are you ridding yourself of false humility?
