Let's Get Down and Dirty!!!

As I read again chapter 5 of Beth Moore's "So long, Insecurity" I am almost tempted to ask her to get out of my cool-aid because she has done everything but write my name in the book.  It's very humbling to understand the reality of what I look like.  Before, I would've have agreed with her when she said that we think "no one gets it!" but by and by I am understanding that people do.  There are many many people who get it.  Even that saddens me because I don't want anybody to get this.  This is not something you wish for as some kind of superlative!  Its not a quality that you want to have but it is very real.

Insecurity is not the worst place to be.  The worst place to be is knowing that you are insecure and accepting it as an unchangeable reality.  I've been there. Matter of fact I've been to a place where insecurity has become my life's expectation.  And while this has been my truth. It is a lie from the pit of hell and I am sending it back.  In the book Beth says that "Recognition is the first step to letting God get to the issue and heal it".  This has to be our life's expectation that the end result of letting God have it is healing! Beth encourages us with these words, "We who are in Christ are never hopeless, never without resources or divine help, even when our bodies are weak."

I must admit that reading these past few chapters was hard for me because she talks about insecurity in the full spectrum of things.  From the shallow reason's we are insecure to the down and dirty roots of the matter we identify ourselves. And as if looking at a list of reasons for my insecurity, it is hard to know that I am still marking checks on my list.  However, looking at the root of why gives me power to uproot it especially because I serve an omnipotent God! That is enough to know that if I continue to press in Him I wont be here long. In Him there is Hope and Healing and for that, I bless GOD!!!! So long, Insecurity!!!
