DR. ANDREW BLACKWOOD - "Esteem" | Mental Health Moment
Mental Health Moments • 1m 54s
I hate myself, no one will ever love me... I’m not good enough...
When things go wrong do you find yourself saying things like, I am so stupid. I’m such an idiot. Why do you always do this kind of thing…. If so, you’re not alone. Somewhere along the way, we learned that it’s ok to speak to ourselves like this and we deserve it.
I want to remind you that We are fearfully and wonderfully made and God Himself, doesn’t speaks us to us like that.
At the core of these statements is the belief that you am not worthy of love. And the sad part is that we believe that God believes this, which is the total opposite of the gospel...
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son… and while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Why would he do that if we were not worth it, if we were not valuable, if we’re not priceless. That’s what esteem is, healthy esteem is an accurate picture of our worth and value to God. Yes, we are undeserving but yet He finds us worthy.
I encourage you to listen for His redeeming voice, the invitation to Come, though your sins be as Scarlett Jesus will make them white as snow. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
Regardless of where you are, receive His love and let Him show you how much you are worth.
