Is Good Self-esteem Important for a Christian and How is it Developed? David Englelsma http://www.prca.org/pamphlets/pamplet_57.html
There are many verses that support the above and one that come to mind is as follows:
Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his suffering in order that we may share in his glory. Romans 8:16-17
I needed to be reminded of my inheritance today so I could live like a child of the King . . . how about you?
Very nice Jewelee...
ReplyDeleteI think one reason you need to be told is that your Mom told you otherwise too many times. She never meant to berate you...she was ill. She got help...she's still getting help, but she also figured out that she IS loved by God. That makes it easier to "do and say the right things", but we still FALL DOWN and we DO need DAILY and MINUTE TO MINUTE confession. We CAN KNOW that we are loved and we CAN find the TRUTH! It's all in the SEEKING! THANKS JEWELEE!
