Praise the Lord Beloved. Hope you had a wonderful weekend and a marvelous Sunday. It’s cold here in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Let us keep the families that are being hampered by the wildfires in California in our prayers.
You know Beloved, there are many unconfident people in our world today. Many who doubt themselves. I can relate to people that are, unconfident, self-doubters and insecure. This is a form of a mental disorder – illness. Been there and done that have the tee shirt. It’s a mental battle that’s very difficult to overcome especially when your village is part of the reason for your mental instability. But it’s a battle that can be won with proper support.
I’ll give this mental disorder the entitles “USDI” to save typing time. A person with USDI can be recognized. They have difficulty establishing good, lasting relationships. They simply can’t see how they can add value to anyone else’s life. Beloved, this is a tragic loss, because every single one of us needs deep and meaningful bonds to help us grow.
Also people with USDI is seen as being prideful or snootiness. Let me tell you, a deficiency of confidence can cause people with USDI to withdraw from others, which can easily be mistaken for an act of arrogance. They can thereby give the impression that they simply don’t want to be around others. What’s more, people with USDI frequently lead to indecisiveness and fear. They can be so consumed with USDI that they can’t make any decision at all. They wonder, “What if I make a mistake?” “So, what if they do? We need to let them know in a loving manner making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn how to do something correctly. Encourage them not to be afraid to try, even if they don’t succeed, they can at least rest in the fact that they did their best. After going a long time feeling poorly about themselves, people with USDI will eventually become angry and then start to resent the success and happiness of others.
Beloved, USDI as small as it may seem, can have a debilitating effect on a person’s life. As we move through this week let’s extend our love and kindness toward people with the devastating USDI disorder. Prayer is a great start. Ask God to show you or place in your heart how you can assist someone or yourself with USDI.
Have a blessed Monday and an “AWESOME” week. 😀
