Emotions
Shyness
Finding it hard to express yourself or approach others out of fear of what they might think.
What the Bible can tell you
Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."
Exodus 4:10
He said to him, "O Lord, how shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house."
Judges 6:15
but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
1 Corinthians 1:27
A human reading
Many people in the Bible felt too small for their task. Shyness does not stop you from serving or loving; step by step, with small actions, it becomes easier to carry.
