English:
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." Philippians 2:3
Cebuano:
“Ayaw pagbuhat og bisan unsa tungod sa hakog nga tinguha o pagpasigarbo, kondili sa pagkamapainubsanon, isipon ninyo ang uban nga labaw pa kay kaninyo.” Filipos 2:3
Insecurity happens when makalimot ta kung kinsa kita diha sa Ginoo. When we forget our identity in Christ, we start feeling small, lacking, or not enough.
When we feel small, sometimes we try to elevate ourselves by reducing others. Makita ni nato usahay sa mga salida or even Chinese dramas, kasagaran ang kontra bida insecure. Ilahang ipataas ilang kaugalingon pinaagi sa pagpaubos sa uban. Mao na ang insecurity.
We try to make others look bad so we can feel better. And because of insecurity, another sin can grow, mao nang gossiping. Tungod sa insecurity, manglibak ta ug mag-condemn ta sa usa ka tawo bisan wala ta kahibalo sa iyang journey with the Lord.
Mao ni ang kinahanglan bantayan nato sa atong kaugalingon. Usahay wala ta kabantay nga nitubo na ang insecurity sa sulod nato. Especially when we see someone being blessed, mura tag makaingon, “Mas gi-bless man siya sa Ginoo kaysa nako.” Pero ang tinuod, pareho ra tang gi-bless. Dili lang nato makita ang atong kaugalingong panalangin tungod kay sige ta’g tan-aw sa laing tawo.
Insecurity comes from pride, fear, and comparison. Sometimes when we feel insecure, we criticize others to hide our own weaknesses.
But we must remember:
God wants us to be humble, not to compete.
Gusto sa Ginoo nga magmapainubsanon ta, dili magkompetensya.
When we compare ourselves to others, we either feel proud or feel not good enough. Both are not from God.
God created everyone differently, with different timing, different blessings, and different journeys.
So instead of comparing yourself to other people, compare yourself to Jesus. He is our standard. Jesus helps you grow. When you focus on Him, you become better each day,not because you are competing, but because you are transforming.
Remember this:
Your value comes from God, not from other people.
Ang imong bili gikan sa Ginoo, dili gikan sa opinyon sa uban.
