Zechariah 2:8 (NKJV) 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
If we need constant attention from our spouse, our family and/or our friends etc., there may be an underlying problem going on.
If we find ourselves getting upset, sad, depressed, or angry over not having enough attention at times, it could possibly be we are dealing with insecurities within ourselves.
We can’t always put the blame on someone else for not giving us the attention we feel we need. We need to face what is going on inside of us and get the right kind of help.
We may have been hurt from words or accusations spoken over us at one time or another.
Maybe someone has spoken down to us and made us feel inadequate, ignorant and not worth much. And now we strive for a certain amount of attention from certain people in order to make us feel better about ourselves.
No matter how much attention we get from others, it will not heal or take away the pain we feel from this kind of treatment, behavior or actions against us.
The words and feelings will torment us until we face it and get healing from God.
Because of what has been said or done to us at times, it may have scarred us, leaving us not sure of ourselves and insecure about who we are. This can cause us to constantly be demanding attention.
Striving to have all the attention will never fix the problem. There will never be enough attention to take it away.
We must rebuke the lies that have been spoken over us, about us and against us. We must also rebuke, in the name Jesus Christ, the negative and ignorant words that are trying to control us and our behavior.
Ask God to set us free and heal our mind and heart and help us to see ourselves the way He sees us, as the apple of His eye. Amen.
