Self-Esteem: Looking Up Instead of Looking Inside

Synopsis

How Do You Answer The Question: Who Am I? Do You Base Your Self Image On Your Successes, Failures, Acceptance, And/or Rejections By Others? Most Of Us Do, But When We Base Our Value And Worth On External Sources Rather Than What God Says, Our Self-image Will Shift Like Sand, Leading To An Unstable And Anxious Sense Of Who We Are. Experienced Counselor And Author Leslie Vernick Shares That The Answer To Healing A Negative Self-image And Low Self-esteem Is Not In Trying Harder, Gaining More Popularity, Being More Productive, Having More Possessions, Securing More Power, Having A Coveted Position, Or In Achieving Perfection. A Healthy Sense Of Self Doesn't Happen By Focusing On Self At All. Instead A Healthy Self-image Combines The Security Of Knowing God's Love With The Humility That Comes From Knowing Ourselves And How Much We Need Christ.
