Who made ourselves the way we are ?

I don't have much time to read recently which I 'm busy with my studied .
And I 'm struggling with some method that make me feel so depress.

An article I found that can cheer me up in some ways and make me revise myself in this new year.

"Self-esteem"

Does the world self esteem have a place in church ?
Then we should go back to ask these question : Where am I basing my sense of self-worth ?

• my physical features, appearance, sense of style
• my intelligence
• my expertise
• my achievements
• my talents
• my romantic relationships
• my friends and family, social connections
• my various attributes/character qualities: my charm, charisma, friendliness, resoluteness, strength, boldness, mercy, take-charge attitude, etc.
• my great job
• my financial status
• my job/role as a wife, mother, student, employee, boss........

Who made ourselves the way we are ? Everything we have and how we are , come from GOD.
While we feel proud , will we think that all the achievements are come from us ?
Yes ! I always believe that it comes from my hard work !

But I did not do anything to deserve what I have been given. All are come from God .


At the same time , me also suffer in poor of "self esteem" while I did not place my right value in "self esteem". I compared myself with other people :

I always say how good other people are which I can't compare with them . They have such a good ....tatatatatatatatata......why can't I be like them? I could never live up to them !
Definitely I would compared and finally it become jealousy .....bad attitude , isn't it ?

I always need long time to calm down myself for this self esteem unbalanced . And self comfort :" Just be yourself~ !" or " You 're who you 're" ,"God creates human in different characteristic".......blah blah ...blah...blah ........

Gradually , it is not that useful for me to calm down myself.....kinda lost control.



All of weakness happened due to I 've failed to place myself upon Him .
If by self-esteem mean basing our sense of self-worth in only ourselves, then that is unrighteous self-esteem. But a sense of genuine self-love and respect that results from seeing the way God sees you – that kind of self-esteem rocks!
