Have you ever said these things about yourself? When did this begin, and how did it get this bad? Does it really matter that you think these things?
YES
A person with low self esteem will usually be quiet, withdrawn, have slumped posture, and be a loner. They will find that they say "Im sorry" 500 times a day. (I should know, that used to describe me)
Or on the other extreme, it could also be someone who is a bully, loud -mouthed, and mean.
Both descriptions depict someone who thinks very little of themselves.
If either of those describes you....you might want to keep reading.
Choose to leave those lies behind and find out the truth about yourself.
If you don't, then giving into your past hurts just will deprive others of all of the gifts and treasures that you hold within yourself.
Would you ever call God a liar? Because He does not see you that way or think that way about you. He thinks you are unique, carefully created as His masterpiece, and wanted, accepted, and loved BY HIM.
Its best not to argue with the Man Upstairs.... 8-) So lets see what He says, then lets just agree with Him.
You are a child of God.
But to all who have received him--those who believe in his name--he has given the right to become God's children … (John 1:12).
Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who dwells in you.
Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you (1 Corinthians 6:19)?
You are chosen, holy, and blameless before God.
For he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may be holy and unblemished in his sight in love (Ephesians 1:4).
And here is a VERY important one too.....
You are God’s workmanship created to produce good works.
For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them (Ephesians 2:10).
You see, God doesn't create JUNK. You are not JUNK. You are a treasure.
So, what do you do now? Create a NEW MESSAGE to yourself daily. THINK of yourself different daily. Here are some ideas and suggestions.
Create POSITIVE sticky notes. Put it on your closet door, your fridge, and your bathroom mirror. Actually read it out loud to yourself every time you see it. The more you hear it, the more you will believe it. (and its true anyway)
Work on seeing yourself as God sees you. You can ALWAYS trust His opinion. He wont lie to you.
If you know someone who this might bless today, please pass it on. Thanks.
