Insecurity

I was sitting in Starbucks today reading "So Long Insecurity"  by Beth Moore. If Beth Moore can boldly announce it, then I figure I can too. I struggle with insecurity.
This hit me like a wave in March during World Christian Week. Something about planning that week and going through that process stirred up a lot, and in that stirring God showed that there was much that I did not believe about the truth of who He says I am. It surprised me to see how deeply the insecurity went, yet freeing to admit it. God is growing me out of this, I know it will take time, but He is faithful.
The interesting is that insecurity can come in all shapes and sizes and can be masked in strange ways - Beth Moore attests to this in her book. I don't feel alone in realizing that I'm not the only one who is walking around struggling with this, and that some others mask it in different ways.
I guess it's part of recognizing and confessing sins - it no longer has that deep, dark hold on you that staying quiet about it did. With eyes on God and a growing understanding of who I am in Him and what He says about me, I know God will continue to grow me in security of who I am in Him - regardless of the world around me.
