Stop Thinking You're Worthless
Self-esteem is a tremendous issue in our lifetime.
Many factors contribute to how we view ourselves.
First, it was keeping up with the Jones, a phenomenon as old as Cain and Abel (jealousy).
Most recently we have forms of media.
Magazines, Television, and Social.
All of these distractions are easy to recognize and though social media does many things I disagree with, there is nothing new under the sun.
Worse than the influences that sway our self-worth, one power is stronger than the rest.
There is someone who can affect our self-esteem more than any outside influence and that is the Devil himself.
He comes in acting as if he’s in control.
The problem is that if we aren’t careful, he can make us feel as if we are worthless.
And it’s a lie from the pits of Hell. (All the puns intended)
There is a reminder in the Bible’s penultimate book that supports the idea that if you lean on God, He can also help you with your self-esteem.
Jude 1:24
“Now unto Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His Glory with great Joy.”
Imagine that, someone to catch us every time we are destined to fall.
Relying on God to keep us focused on being the best version of ourselves is not easy,
but it’s simple.
When we stumble, He will pick us back up.
The self-esteem that we crave can only come from Him.
Don’t let the Devil trick you into thinking you’re worthless.
God’s got us and we are made perfect with Him.
So let Him take control.
