Self-Esteem: What Does The Bible Say?
wow….. this is great!
This shows me that you shouldn’t judge yourself about how you are. God made the way you are because He knows He did it for a reason. The word beauty always made me think it is how you look like and how you are, but after I heard this, the beauty is in your spiritual soul. The phrase that I was fearfully and wonderfully made made me feel so great ’cause everything that God created in me is just because He knows me the best. I thought that I was always the worst and I look worse than others, I have always looked down on myself, but Regina showed me that it is your spiritual body that makes you look beautiful. I feel fortunate that I’ve gotten this chance to hear this message that God thought that I needed the most. I told you, God knows me better than I know myself.
The world’s warped value in defining beauty has influenced us in ways more than we thought we would be. Even Christians are not spared. We must find our worth in Christ…for Christ considered us worthy that He chose to die on the Cross for you and me.
“…The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
1 Sam 16:7
SO YOU WOULD COME
Narration
If you don’t know Jesus
This song has been written with you in mind
The chorus says “come to the Father”
You may feel like you have nothing to give
You might have a broken heart a broken life
But Jesus is standing here
And He’s saying “come, come, come to the Father”
Before the world began
You were on His mind
And every tear you cry
Is precious in His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Nothing you can do
Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you’ve done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Come to the father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the World
The power of His blood
Everything was done
So you would come

How do we define beauty.. is it my clothes.. my hair?? is it my make up?? is it the oils and the perfumes?? is it the cologne?? is it the beauty soap ads on TV?? is is all the Miss Something beauty pageants?? is it the salon treatment?? is it the nice look from the barber shop?? it it the nice car.. fancy house?? is it the fat bank account?? Is it the lifestyle of the Rich and famous???
what do we call beauty??? what is beauty??? many say that the beautiful ones are not yet born.. and that beauty is in the eye of the beholder..
the question is.. Who is beholding your beauty?
never to point to the problem and not point out a solution.. thankfully.. we can rely on the Book of Instructions.. the Bible.. for all our answers.. any qn we can supply.. Jesus is the final Word…
