What's your go to verse on body insecurities? Womp. womp. Someone asked me this and I didn't have an answer. Why? Because body image actually isn't the issue. It's a symptom of an underlying illness. That illness could be pride, shame, but ultimately it's insecurity. The Bible speaks to how to deal with pride and shame, but obviously not body image. One challenge with trying to solve body image from a worldly perspective is that it's based in nothing more than your own opinion and belief. And your own opinion and belief can just as easily be negative (and most often is) so who are you to say your body is actually good v. bad? What authority do you have? Hmm. None. That's what leads me to giving the authority of my value over to God, the one who created me in His image. I don't get to decide who I am or what I am.
