We Have This Treasure!

I am continually reading through the book God has pinned through His servant Beth Moore and continually I am amazed at how He calls me out and patches me up.  I have reached the chapter that talks about women and our insecurity toward other women.  If you are a women and you are honest you can surely identify this bad habit within yourself.  We compare ourselves to others.  We exaggerate what is real by esteeming other women which means we must subtract esteem from ourselves and we get caught up in this vicious cycle.  We say things like, "she is beautiful which means Imma duck" or countless other lies the devil speaks in our ears.


As women sometimes we are here in spite of our Christianity.  As I stared at my reflection on the pages, I saw all the ways that I dig myself into a pit in that I encourage insecurity in myself and when I compete I even encourage it in other women because I am trying to make myself more secure.  All attempts fail and I am caught in unedifying the body of Christ.  I am tempted to hang my head in shame realizing that this is real in me but I reach part of the book where the Word of God gives me goose-bumped-tear jerking-hope.  



For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us


(2 Corinthians 4:6, 7)

We dont have to be stuck in insecurity because all the surpassing power that overcomes this sin belongs to God and He is in us.  We have this treasure in us... mere jars of clay.  Oh what Good news that is!! Thank you Jesus!

God has given us the power to overcome all insecurity just by trustin in Him who is in us!!! Grasp that concept!!! Get it in your spirit!!!

I thank God for using Beth Moore to write this book.  I feel like I'm on the brink of Security!!! Yesss suuuhhhh!!!
