Are you aware of imposter syndrome? It is a sickness. It describes feelings of severe inadequacy and self-doubt that can leave people fearing that they will be exposed as a “fraud”, usually in their work lives. It can affect anyone, regardless of their success.
It also means “A mental pattern of which a person doubts their accomplishments or talents and has constant internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud”.
You are in the fight. You get knocked down and think that is the end for you. But suddenly you feel strength flow to you. You get up and back into the fight. In the end, they tally up the score and announce you as the winner. Initially, you’re excited, but then that inner voice begins to speak up again saying:
You know you didn’t REALLY win, right?
Everyone sees how weak you really are!
There is nothing to you. That’s why you keep getting knocked down.
However, we should still believe in ourselves. Though there are times that we feel this kind of syndrome, We have to be careful in circumstances like this. It is because we will project our own negative feelings onto God. Yet, He sees us exactly how He created us: fearfully and wonderfully made. God sees us, He knows us (flaws and all) and yet He still chooses us.
The assignment might seem big but that is because He never intended for us to do it alone. Every bit of our purpose was designed with His assistance in mind.
You are not an imposter. You are a child of God. Believe in yourself!
