Modesty vs Insecurity

I feel as though Christians draw a fine line in between modesty and insecurity.

Modesty is NOT putting yourself down. A lot of people tend to think that, or they try to act like that in order to feed their pride, so they feel modest and look modest. I often think that to be modest I have to put myself in comparison with God, but this will just lead to depression as God is so holy and perfect, and I am unrighteous (without God's grace.) Comparing myself to God is not modesty, while I feel as though it needs to be done sometimes, it will only make me depressed.

If I was that kind of modest and I was the best runner in the world, what would be the point in saying; oh no, that was a really bad run, God could have done it better. It would be pointless right, God can do everything better then us?

Modesty IS doing everything to bring glory to God. Realising who we are before God and what he has done. Realising we are sinners before Him, realising its HIM who saves us. Not us. Not ourselves. Thats part of modesty, realising that nothing we can do can save us, and bringing all glory to God.

Modesty IS also about honesty, so in my above example, saying  'I'm not that good at running' would be a lie right? We want to say something more like: 'Praise God for this gift I have.'

My thoughts are still in motion.
Stay tuned.
