SELF- ESTEEM

One of my co-worker gave me this booklet it entitled "The book of Hope". At first I was hesitant to read it, I always put it aside and done other activities that I'am busy with. And then  I got curious of what's the content of this booklet when all of my workmates started talking about it and invited me to answer few questions about the topic they have read. Then I came across with this topic "Self- esteem' I can relate to this because I've experienced it during my younger years as part of growing up asking those questions. Here are the questions that I wanted to share with you and reflect on it.

" You're no good for anything"

          Have you ever been told this?

                          " I'm ugly"

" I' m no good at sports. Not good in school either."

          " How can anyone love me? I'm not worth it!"

                                         Have you ever thought this?

SELF- ESTEEM. Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished you were someone else? If you answer yes, you're in the majority. Probably everyone who has ever lived wished that they could change at least one thing about themselves: their nose, their height, their personality - something.

Looks. Money.Possessions. Popularity. They all have one thing in common: they're not guaranteed. Even if we have them, they're all temporary. When our self- worth relies on these things. Happiness and fulfillment will always be short lived.

True worth comes by seeing ourselves through God our Creator's eye. How much value does he place on your life? Did you Know that God loves you as much as he loves his own son Jesus! You can't get any more valuable than that! 

I so agree with this and I hope that after reading this article you've learned something.
