Self-esteem
Self-esteem is how we perceive our worth and value. Many people struggle with feelings of inadequacy, but it’s essential to remember that our true worth comes from God. The Bible teaches us that we are created in His image and deeply loved by Him.
Psalm 139:14 (NIV): "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
1 Peter 2:9 (NIV): "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light."
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV): "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
You are valuable and loved beyond measure. Remember that God sees you as precious and has a unique purpose for your life. In moments of self-doubt, turn to His Word to remind yourself of the truth of who you are in Christ.
