Fit Bit (God Esteem vs. Self Esteem)
Luke 9:23
“23 Then he said to them all:
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross
daily and follow me.”
Today I was listening to Andrew Womack
ministries. He was talking bout this very
thing.
In our current culture self-esteem is a
center point of raising our children. We
give participation awards out so everyone is a winner. Is this bad?
I don’t know. I see it both
ways. What I do know is if my help comes
from believing in me, I am lost. I can
be having a “great day “ and the next thing you know I’m messing up again. If my help comes from me, YUCK! I can try and try, but I always fall
short. If I relied on my own behavior
and accomplishments to feel good, I would be destined to intense failure. No
matter how good I am, I am still bad.
When I start picking myself apart, and feel the deserved low esteem
attacking me, I try to STOP and remember I am a beautiful child of God. I am made beautiful because of what Jesus Christ
did for me, not because of what I do or fail to do. He takes the bad and works
it out for good. Sometimes I make good
decisions and often I make bad ones, but when I have God esteem, thinking of
myself as made right and forgive through Jesus.
I have internal desire and strength to keep on keeping on, in a God
focused direction. This keeps me
healthy.
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
Romans 8:28
“28 And we know that
in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to
his purpose.”
