Good Morning Lovely Ladies!! I hope this devotional inspires
you to be the BEST YOU possible! Do you ever notice that the things about ourselves we hate AND make so LARGE
are more than likely unnoticed by everyone else? It’s true! You know…your “so called”
big ears, that gap in your teeth, or that blemish you think everyone can see
miles away. Sounds funny right…because it is! When
someone comes along who we THINK (and I do emphasize the word think) is better
looking, or more talented than we are – those insecurities tend to magnify
themselves. It’s the enemy’s job to
make us feel inferior to others, when in fact we’re made in the image and likeness of God Himself. Instead of wishing you had the physical attributes or the spiritual abilities of someone else, ask the Holy Spirit to help you discover your own gifts and talents and hone them. When we start comparing ourselves to others and letting our insecurities rear their ugly heads, we sell God and ourselves short. In fact, 2 Corinthians 10:12 teaches us that it's UNWISE to compare ourselves to anyone. Anything that is unwise is considered foolish, immature and ridiculous! Think about it...if God made US in His image and likeness, then obviously He knew what He was doing! This is exactly what the enemy uses to get us off course and make us lose focus; when that happens, it opens the door to the enemy and all he has to offer. We all have inadequacies and we may not be the best at everything, but what we are good at, we should do it to the best of our ability. God has told us in His Word that we ARE fearfully and wonderfully made! Do yourselves a BIG favor ladies…do YOU well, because there’s no one else on this earth who can! ;-))
