Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! 1 John 3:1
What you believe about yourself your self-esteem, your sense f value, your sense of worth sets the limits for your life.
We can see ourselves from different points of view.
We can see ourselves from different points of view.
• We can see ourselves as the world sees us: this makes us slaves of other people.
• We can see ourselves as we see ourselves: this can make us either arrogant or timid.
• We can see ourselves the way God sees us: this frees us to be the best we can be. When we see ourselves the way God sees us, it enables us to live our lives the way God created us to be.
The problem that many people have today is they don't really even like themselves. They constantly focus on their faults and shortcomings and then wonder why they don't enjoy life or have any enthusiasm or why their relationships aren't working.
Understand that you cannot be negative toward yourself and expect to live a positive, faith-filled life.
In order to love yourself so that you can love others, you first of all accept that God loves you unconditionally. That thought will liberate you from any sense of inferiority or arrogance.
It focuses your identity on God and not on what you have or do not have. If you'll get your thinking corrected and start thinking like a beloved child of the Most High God, who is crowned with favour, you'll be amazed at what will happen.
You will rise from the life of a loser to the life of a winner in Christ. When you allow thoughts of acceptance and love fill your heart and mind, it will spill over onto the people around you.
As you live and love the way God intends, you will find peace, joy, and victory.
Prayer: Thank You Heavenly Father, for loving me without reservation.
Scriptural Reading: 1 John 3:1-3
