Did you know that a close relationship with God can help to
build your self esteem? You may be
skeptical or doubtful about this statement so let me explain how. Once you understand and truly believe you
will be on your way to one of the most life changing experiences of your life.
“For everything, absolutely everything, above and below,
visible and invisible… everything got started in him and finds its purpose in
him.” God knows you better than you will
ever know yourself. Of course; that’s
because he created every inch of your body, inside and out, from your head to
your toes. He has placed inside of you
specific characteristics and talents that are meant to complement you. Therefore, it makes sense to turn to him for
the help you need in building your self esteem.
In addition, the Bible says we were created in God’s perfect
image. This fact alone should help your
self esteem to blossom. If God is a
perfect God then how could you be a mistake?
Your eyes; your nose; the shade of your skin; the texture of your hair;
your body shape; they are uniquely beautiful and perfect because God made them.
Learn to appreciate every inch of your body because God made you this way for a
reason.
Acknowledging God’s love for you can also build your self
esteem. “How do I know God loves
me?” You may ask. Isaiah 46:3-4 says, “I have carried you since
you were born; I have taken care of you from your birth. Even when you are old, I will be the
same. Even when your hair has turned
gray, I will take care of you. I made
you and will take care of you.” Why
would God go through so much if he didn’t have such a genuine love for
you? Up until the day you die he will
continue to watch and protect you. That
is how much he loves you. Your self
esteem should grow knowing that our all-powerful God loves you so much.
As a matter of fact, God proved his love by sending his
heavenly son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. “God loved the world so much that he gave his
only begotten son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be
destroyed but have everlasting life.”(John 3:16) God could have destroyed us because of our
sinful tendencies. Instead, he did one
of the most difficult things a loving parent could do, allow his only child,
his only son to die for our, your sins.
God did this not only to give you a fighting chance at everlasting life
but also to demonstrate how strong his love is for you. Meditate on this fact especially when your
self esteem is at its lowest. It will
help you to feel a sense of peace, that you are a worthy individual who
deserves to be loved.
By constantly thinking about God’s love for you and what he
has done to prove his love time and time again; by allowing this fact to touch
your heart, you have no choice but to want to have a close relationship with
him. A close relationship with God will
in turn help your self esteem to grow and grow as long as you continue to focus
on his love for you at all times.
