Building Our Sense of Self
Whether you’re 15 or 50, new insecurities and challenges can pop up. It’s important to build a strong sense of self that can handle tough conversations and situations.
In Inside Out, Riley’s sense of self was mostly internal. But in reality, we need outside voices, likely godly community, to help shape and support our self-perception. Having a support system helps us see things more clearly and keeps us balanced.
Our Identity in Christ
Our ultimate sense of self comes from the Lord. Scripture teaches us to take every thought captive, reminding us that we can’t always trust our own perceptions. Regularly reading the Bible helps keep us grounded in truth.
As we go through life, each new season brings with it new challenges and changes. It can be hard to recalibrate. It’s crucial not to go through these changes alone.
By understanding and valuing all our emotions, leaning on supportive communities, and grounding ourselves in truth, we can handle these changes with grace and stay grounded in who we are in Christ.
