Low self-esteem can be defined as a continuous feeling of anxiety, inadequacy or inferiority, lack of self-respect, and a deep sense of unworthiness. It is estimated by Psychology Today that roughly 85% of people worldwide have low self esteem. This includes both adults and adolescents. So if you struggle with low self esteem, you are not alone.

Low self-esteem can stem from growing up in a dysfunctional environment or even negative encounters with other influential people in your life. It has many negative consequences. It destroys big dreams, prevents you from trying new things, affects how you relate to other people, and prevents you from fully enjoying your life!

God never intended for you to feel “less than”. In fact, God said that you are “made in His image”. With over 8 billion people in the world today, God values you so much that you are the only person with your set of fingerprints. He made you a unique masterpiece!

He values you so much that He sent His Son to die for you. God wants you to have proper self-esteem, which is a realistic respect for or favorable impression of yourself. You need to learn to see yourself the way that God sees you which is based on your value, purpose, calling, and future victory.

Psalm 139:13-14 NIV says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
