Your insecurities are showing!

I don't know if anyone remembers that joke "hey your epidermis is showing" how we rushed and covered up b/c we didn't know that our epidermis meant our skin. that somehow by covering up the shame of our epidermis would not be noticed. I've been feeling lately that people are shouting "hey your insecurities are showing" and I rush to cover them up. It's like i'm not human or I want to appear like this superwoman with no insecurities.
The truth is sometimes I'm racked with insecurities..about love about life about weight. It can get overwhelming at times when I forget who I am. Ive started this new mental exercise with my insecurities that has really helped me. I think about my old self and why my old self had whatever insecurity I'm battling then I think about my new self the one crucified with Christ and I think about all the things he says about me...how much he loves me. and I go back and forth til I know which one is the truth and which one is the lie. Today I'm struggling with insecurities but I also know today is also temporary. This too shall pass. God Bless you.
