If you are like me who struggled with inferiority, low self esteem, indecisiveness and just an overwhelming feeling of being out of place and thinking less of yourself; be not ashamed, as a matter of fact embrace it. – 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 speaks to the people that God uses to do marvelous works. Be encouraged that the people who God uses are very much like you. You are not alone!
In order for us to move beyond the things that are holding us back not only do we need to believe this truth that God can use us in marvelous ways, but we have to accept this truth also. We have to bravely face the things that hold us back without fear of being judged because we know who we answer to at the end of the day. We know who has promised us to use us to His glory. Our path to freedom and success is dependent on our acceptance of God’s truth and walking in His light. So we have to play our part in walking with godly confidence and not glorifying ourselves but Glorifying God.
When we acknowledge the challenges. only then will we push past them and get to where we need to be. “I am with you and I am willing to help you in this says God“. God tells us it is through our weaknesses that his strength is evident. God does not use perfect people but he uses the imperfect ones. Moses in owning his stuttering led the Israelites out of Egypt. What would have happened if he had held on to his imperfection? If the lady at the well was concerned about what others said about her she would have shied away from the conversation with Jesus. Yet, on that day through having godly confidence she became aware of her worth and caused the conversion of many.
Do not undervalue or diminish your contribution, do not shrink because the devil places lies in your head suggesting that you cannot overcome what you feel is a negative in your life. You are valuable, too valuable and he wants you to settle for the “box” and at the same time place God in a box (too) by not believing his word. Your life is far bigger than a box, God is telling you to break free. Who are you going to listen to, God or the devil? If you are shrinking you are choosing the devil.
Your feelings of inferiority, indecisiveness and not fitting in, thinking less of yourself are all blessings in disguise, it’s an opportunity for you to say use me God for your glory. What are you going to do today?
Stop thinking less of yourself and know that you are worthy!!!
