Self esteem - DB

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Gal. 6:3

Self esteem is often a gift a child receives from his parents. We cheer them on at every endeavor and praise them for the smallest accomplishments. We do this because we want them to have a favorable opinion about themselves. We want them to value themselves because we value them so highly.

Similarly, we receive our sense of value from our Heavenly Father. We can know that we are prized and loved because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Apart from Christ we are lost and undone, but in Christ we are brought into fellowship with God.

 It is good to recognize one’s value in the eyes of Jesus.
