“The bottom line of positive and stable self-esteem is when you can say: I accept.the value that God has put on me. When you do that, you will then cooperate with God to develop the best possible you in this world. Self-value will rid you of all jealousy because you will never again want to be anyone else. Self-value will wipe out inferiority because you are in God’s class of being and He, in you, Is greater than any person or any power outside of you. Self-value will eliminate fear of failure or defeat because nothing can stop you and God working together. Self-value will give you courage because you discover that with God at work in you, you become indomitable. Self-value will cause you to stand up, to square your shoulders, to look out into the future with new confidence, to walk with a study stride, and to rise to the level of the importance for which God created you.” —-An excerpt from “You Are God’s Best” by T.L.
