A Cure For Low Self-esteem

So much of what we do as human beings—so many of the mistakes we make and desires we have—flows from having very little self-esteem. Many of us wear masks, strive for unworthy goals, get into bad relationships, compromise our integrity, or just blend in with the crowd because deep down inside we’re wounded and needy.

But remember this: You were created by God. Before you were ever born, He knew who you would be. You are designed with a unique combination of abilities, interests, and passions that has never been before and will never be seen in anyone again.

Not only that, you are created for eternal impact. Your one-of-a-kind design was intended to last. He guards over your purpose and destiny, He is aware of all your needs, and He watches you even while you sleep. You are an intentional part of His plan. You are family, and He is your Father; He designed you for incredible purposes.

If that sinks into your heart—really becomes a part of who you are at your core—you will never have problems with low self-esteem. Your heart and mind will be filled with a healthy sense of self-worth that enables you to know your purpose in life and to fulfill it.

His Promises

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body

and knit me together in my mother’s womb. . . .

You saw me before I was born.

Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out

before a single day had passed.

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

You are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
