What force is destructive, causes strife, produces envy, arrogance, or uncertainty, and gives off a desire for validation?

The answer is insecurity.

In order to be the best version of ourselves, we cannot forget our self-worth. Our self-worth can break if we aren't careful what we think or how we try to satisfy the eyes around us.

We are to stand strong, stay humble, and be confident in who we are in Christ.
