Genesis 1:26-27 -
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.
Low self-esteem is the cause of many issues in people's lives. More often, it's because people feel that they have no value in life. Sometimes, we value ourselves based on how others value us. When they treat us or view us with low value, then we, in turn, view ourselves the same way.
How many breakups have caused people to second guess their own value, causing them to go into depression? Maybe you feel like you find your identity in your success, and when you've been fired or have failed many times in trying to fulfill your goals, you feel like you've lost all hope at finding value.
However, the bible clearly states that our value is far greater than we think. In fact, the value that we truly have was gained the moment we came into being. We are different from the rest of creation in that we were the only ones created in God's image, and that alone is where our true value lies. If this is not enough to convince you of your value, know that the God of all creation saw it fit to pay for our redemption with His own blood. That is how valuable we are; it took the blood of our Creator to purchase us back from the bondage of sin and death.
Don't look for your identity anywhere else. Your true identity can only be found in Christ! GOD bless.
