Feeling Insecure? Here are 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t be

Do you ever feel like you don’t measure up to other people’s standard of beauty no matter how hard you try?

Don’t beat yourself up! You are beautifulsecure, and loved. Here are 3 reasons why you should believe that, from CBN Asia’s Holy Week Special, Wanda’s Wonderful World:

1. Your Creator is beautiful 

Wanda, played by actress Coney Reyes, grew up looking for love in all the wrong places. Abandoned at such a young age, she tried to fill the vacancy that sits in her heart by entering a series of relationships – thinking that people can give her the security she needed. 

Ultimately, your true beauty and security come from the one who made you – and you were made in the image of a perfect God! (Genesis 1:27) 

God exists in perfect beauty. The Bible assures that God Himself is beautiful“His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.” (Revelation 1:16), which only means that the work of His hands, including you, are beautiful too! 

2. You are wonderfully made.

The story of Wanda is a story of a woman who found her wholeness in God, just like how God made her. How would you feel if you’re told that you’re intricately designed with so much love and care?

Psalm 139:13-14 made it clear that you’re created uniquely, wonderfully, and with a purpose, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” 

Apart from creating you, God has also saved you from sins and eternal darkness by offering Himself at the cross. You are loved, you are valued. And it’s evident in all the wondrous things God has done for you.

3. His perfect love casts out all fears… and insecurities!

When Wanda accepted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior, her perception of beauty, acceptance, and security changed. Finding the greatest love in God, she became more beautiful, grateful, and radiant.

Continue to look to God, because those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed (Psalm 34:5). As someone transformed by the securing love of God, let His goodness radiate through you!

As you accept Him, have faith that His perfect love for you can silence your inner critic! Believe that He sees and accepts you for who you really are, and that’s enough reason for you to be happy with who you are today. Praise God for creating you just as you are!

The skin will soon wrinkle, the face will age. It’s just a matter of time before the earthly beauty fades away but the beauty of a person after God’s own heart remains forever. 

Now that you’ve found your true beauty and identity in Jesus Christ, nothing – and no one, can ever neglect you. In a world where the standard of beauty is ever-changing, nothing – and no one can ever diminish your value once you’ve put your security in God.

May you find joy as you embrace the beautiful person God designed you to be!

Coney Reyes is Wanda Woman in Wanda’s Wonderful World

Award-winning actress, television host, and producer Coney Reyes will once again grace your television screens as Wanda on the rerun of CBN Asia’s Holy Week special Wanda’s Wonderful World, this Maundy Thursday, April 9, 5:30 PM on GMA.

Co-starring with top-caliber actors Tirso Cruz III and Ricky Davao, Coney breathes life to the character of Wanda, the CEO of a well-renowned events company, Wanda’s Wonderful World.

Despite her successful career, Wanda still searches for love while trying to fill the void in her heart left by a traumatic experience she had when she was young.

“Actually, Wanda is sort of a complicated character. But if you dig deep down in her heart, it’s actually simple why she is the way she is. She was a neglected child, because of that, there were certain things she was yearning for in her life,” Coney explained.

One of the things that Coney could relate to was Wanda’s conversations with God and the decisions she made in life.

“Not that I questioned God, but I would often talk to God.” She added, “I made a lot of ‘not-so-healthy’ and ‘not-so-godly decisions’ and because of that I ended up with a lot of mess in my personal life. But when I met the Lord Jesus and I really just surrendered my life to Him, everything turned around because God works things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.”

Following its run last Lent, the faith-based feature film earned the respect of international movie critics and enthusiasts, winning numerous awards and nominations at the Great Lakes Christian Film Festival 2019 in Buffalo, New York.

It was hailed as the Winner of Best Special Effects in a Narrative Feature, Best Experimental/Most Creative in a Narrative Feature, and Best Lighting in a Narrative Feature, and received 4 nominations – Best Producer in a Narrative Feature, Best Director in a Narrative Feature, Best Comedy in a Narrative Feature, and Best Cinematography in a Narrative Feature.

Wanda’s Wonderful World is a product of the wonderful imagination CBN Asia’s Special Projects Manager Icko Gonzalez.

Watch Coney Reyes again as CBN Asia presents Wanda’s Wonderful World, a story that will surely satisfy your yearning for true love and purpose, on April 9, Maundy Thursday, 5:30 PM at GMA 7.
