Psalms 139:13-16 – “For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; 16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.” NASB

Let us get to the remedy for Inferiority Complexes, at least for believers.  Please note the following, if you will.

• You must realize that you were prescribed before birth. – – [Psalm 139:13-16] God made us exactly as we should be according to his plan, be that 4’2” or 7’2”.
• Remember that the process is still going on.  He is not finished yet.  Work hard to always remember this point.
• Refuse to compare yourself with anyone else.
• Respond correctly to your weak points.

I heard a preacher tell the story of his birthmark, which appeared to be a bright red scar across the side of his face.  It was like a burn scar.  It stretched in an unattractive, obvious fashion down his forehead, across his nose, and across a large section of his mouth and neck.  He demonstrated absolutely no problem with inferiority because of it.  He said he was asked how he could be unaffected by it. 

He said, “It is all because of my dad.  From the time I remember, my dad taught me that this part of my face was where an angel must have kissed me before I was born.  He said, ‘Son, this marking was for Dad so that I might know you are mine.’ God has marked you just to remind me that you are my son.’  All through my younger days, I was reminded by my dad, ‘You are the most important, special fellow on earth.’  To tell the truth,” He said, “I got to where I felt sorry for people who didn’t have birthmarks across the sides of their faces.”

You see, until we can thank God for our shortcomings or seeming imperfections, the scars in our lives, we will NEVER conquer the problem of inferiority.  Therefore, we need to consistently and constantly ask God to help us trust Him and deliver us from our preoccupation with self.

Remember:

                  He has called and commissioned you for a particular function.

                  He is working on you on a continual basis.

                  He is working through you every day and in ways you do not now realize.

Always remember there is Nothing impossible to the Family of God, and you are part of that family!  You and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  We are more than conquerors through Him and will fulfill the purposes of God in our generations if we do not faint, focus on the wrong things, or allow ourselves to become side-tracked by the devil.

So, as you go through the day, know that you are unique in God and that what you are now is not what you will be.  You have a special and unique purpose that God has designed you for, and rejoice in that blessing while trusting God to provide everything you need to accomplish His purposes in your life.

May the rich and special blessings of the Lord be yours today and every day!
