I'm feeling blessed today

[Jenster]

I wanted to thank Jesus, because I'm feeling better about myself today.

I've struggled for a long while with self-esteem. Mostly because I'm a sensitive person and when I've been treated poorly, I have falsely taken how I've been treated and believed I am not worth much.

Praise God that He's been working with me on this. This weekend I have just been feeling very blessed. Instead of feeling badly because of what someone else says about me, I can believe the TRUTH - that God loves me and that I have nothing to be ashamed about. I also feel like He's allowing me to be proud of myself (without getting arrogant) for being wise, compassionate and gifted. For me, this is huge. Thank you Lord!

Thanks, tsuriel. I am glad to hear that the Lord is working in your life in a similar way! Praise Him!

Maybe you can relate to this: I didn't grow up thinking about myself a lot. I was more the person who would think of others' needs. Well, I realized after awhile that many people expect others to be self-centered, as they are. Like when people have argued with me, they haven't expected me to be considerate of their opinions, so they attack, thinking they have to "win."

That really hurts, because I am a sensitive and reasonable person. But this is the world we live in! So now I am learning to take pride in who God made me to be and to always remember that sometimes the problem isn't me ... it's the other person. This helps me to stop doubting myself so much.

Wow, when you were talking about your life it seemed to me you were talking about me!
So I truly understand how you feel and thank God about what He has shown you. Also in my life the people I wanted do help ended up hurting me... but I learned that we must expect this to happen when we love God and others.
Praise the Lord!
