Self Esteem - Keys To Building Your Self Esteem

One of the major keys to building your self esteem is to recognise the lies you have been believing about yourself and replace them with the truth. When you begin to agree with God and say the same things that He says about you, your feelings of self worth will grow.

When my self esteem was at a particularly low ebb and I thought I was the scum of the earth, I followed these simple steps, I invite you to do the same.

I searched out what God said about me and wrote out the Scriptures that describe how precious I am to God
I put them were I could easily see them.
Each day I spoke those words to myself throughout the day.
Whenever someone said anything negative to me or a negative thought crept in, I immediately told myself it wasn't true and reminded myself of what God said abut me.

Those truths now roll off my tongue easily because they became such an integral part of my thinking.

Now I actually like myself. I can look in the mirror and look myself in the eye when I say,

"God loves me. I am a dearly loved child of God, chosen and not rejected. My God rejoices over me with singing, I am precious in His sight. He has given me a hope and a future. He will never leave me or forsake me. He loves me with a never ending love."

It took me a while because I had believed deep rooted lies about myself for such a long time. With God's help, I gradually replaced those lies with truth and now I firmly believe that I am who God says I am. I can honestly say that I like myself and I no longer have any issues with low self esteem because I know for certain who I am in Jesus.
