So Long Insecurity, Week 2

1. Based on Chapter Three, what tends to be your own "Prominent False Positive"?
". . . you're married to the most fabulous man in the world." Prominent False Positive: A great man would make me secure.


2. What is the challenge stated at the very end of Chapter Three? (I want us to see this restated in our comments hundreds of times so it breaks into our belief systems. It is critical to our journey. SO, I don't care how many times you've seen it written on this post, write it again for yourself. That's your mama talking.)

"To let the healthy, utterly whole, and completely secure part of us increasingly overtake our earthen vessels until it drives our every emotion, reaction, and relationship. When we allow God's truth to eclipse every false positive and let our eyes spring open to the treasure we have, there in His glorious reflection we'll also see the treasure we are. And the beauty of the Lord our God will be upon us!"

3. Based on Chapter Four, what Biblical figure (or statement about him/her) resonated with you most and why?

Paul. Paul struggles with many of my own person insecurities. . .and through this teaches us how to strive to be more Christ's Like.

Oh my goodness... Your comment on my last post was an incredible blessing. I went to Beth Moore's blog - read alot of it, read some of your posts on the book, and just cried. I am ordering the book today - I can not believe how appropriate it is for where I am at right now! I so appreciate your prayers. I don't know if you have ever felt the distinct feeling of being under spiritual attack - but I am feeling it.
