Isolating Insecurity
By Paul de Jong
"Your loudest voice will dominate your life and so, by speaking God’s truth out loud we change the balance; we tip the scales. If you are going to beat insecurity, you have to stand and confront its attempts to dominate your life.”
"If allowed, insecurity will always keep you wrapped up in discouragement seeking to destroy your potential by isolating you."
“If you allow discouragement any room in your life, insecurity will begin its work, attempting to spin a web from which there is no escape. It is a good idea to regularly stop and identify any disappointments or discouragements you are facing and commit to bringing them out into the open, avoiding the dark room where they can continue to develop and disempower you from continuing to live freely.”
Quotes
“If we say we are not insecure, we are not listening to truth. You may believe you are open to God and don’t need to change, but we are all on a journey and need to constantly remember that Jesus said that His truth will set us free.”
“Insecurity constantly has us all turning in to what we cannot change and what has already been - our past.”
“The closer I get to God, the more I begin to understand His eternal nature, and the more I realize how much more I need to learn about Him.”
“When we begin to understand how God sees us, there is a shift in the core of who we are that is very much a part of our restoration process.”
“So many times the guilt of what has been traps us and creates highlighted insecurity but we must let go of what we can’t change.”
"If we look at who we are by the way we feel, we will continue to shrivel up and die on the inside.”
