I'm someone who gets discouraged easily. A simple statement made by a friend that they meant as a joke comes off as an insult to me. I'm so insecure about myself and who I am. I find myself being insecure from how I look, my body weight, my face, to even what I own, and even my own spiritual walk with Jesus. I compare myself to people too much, and it's not good for me. I always feel like there's someone ahead of me, (duh). And for some reason lately it's becoming more noticeable in my life.
I'm running a race. My own race. No one is running this race with me- when I die, it's going to be me and Jesus. He's not looking at my mom, my best friend, my minister, no one. it's just me and Him. And I need to stop comparing myself to Earthly people and start comparing myself to Jesus. If I should strive to be like anyone it should be Him right?
I need to stop mirroring the people around me and start mirroring Jesus.
I need to run at my own pace- we all make it to the finish line no matter what. I need to pace myself and keep my eyes on Jesus. And no one else. No one is going to get me to the cross except Him. No one is going to bring me true joy in life except for Him. It's ALL about Him. And I've lost sight of that.
I don't know- I needed to journal that out to make more sense to myself. I hope it finds you like a friend.
All my love,
Amy Elizabeth |
