Having Self esteem problems? PLZ read!!!

God looked out across eternity. He saw you. He saw everything He had created and everything he would create around you.. He saw the specific need on this earth that He would make you to meet. He saw the full set of traits and abilities that you would need in order to complete His purpose for your life. He knew what kind of environment that would be necessary for you to properly develop the gifts He would give you.
God looked…..and then He created you. And then He said. “This is good.”
It is important that you appreciate the way God created you because other people are going to treat you the way you treat yourself. They will respect you only to the degree that you respect yourself. “I am somebody because God made me to be somebody.” There is an quality of inner strength that makes you attractive. It causes other people to recognize you, to pay attention to you, to ask when you walk into a room, “who is she.” They wont be asking because your dress is so stunning, but because your character is so magnetic. Projecting the kind of strength that’s not arrogance but pride. It is healthy self esteem and the power of God’s spirit within you.
The way you appreciate yourself impacts everything you do. It affects the way you sit in a classroom or go about the ministry God has called upon you to take. God wants you to appreciate who he made you to be and to develop what He gave you. He doesn’t want you to try to exchange what he gave you, for what he gave someone else. You are a unique blend of talents and gifting and character; and you have a unique destiny upon this earth. You are somebody!

Note to self “DON’T DO ANYTHING DUMB.”

That is so true and I agree, but not everyone will treat you respectfully. When we come across people who act negativley towards you, it is not you who has the problem, but that person. The way someone treats you is the way they treat other people. Thanks for sharing this wonderful blog and God Bless.

Thanks just doesnt seems like enough. In this society where it seems being your self just isnt quite good enough, it nice to know that I am me and unique and THAT is enough.
