Consequences of Low Self-Worth

In simple terms, self-worth is the belief in our own value as a person. It's like being on your own team, loving and respecting yourself just like you would your loved ones.It's not the same as self-esteem, which can come from things like achievements and the approval of others. Self-worth comes from within, from your own core belief system about yourself and your value as a human being.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Self-worth is believing in your own value</li><li class="ql-align-justify">It comes from within, not from others</li><li class="ql-align-justify">It's like being on your own team</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Self-esteem can come from outside sources</li><li class="ql-align-justify">It's important to love and respect yourself</li></ul>

We are masterpieces created in God's image and cherished above all else.Let us honor our existence and remember that we are uniquely and intentionally crafted by the ultimate Artist. 🎨✨

Who Made You?

Because God is always thinking about what's good and best for you. He knows you intimately, even before you were born. Remember, God's love for you goes beyond anything you can imagine.

God's Loving Plan for You

Your True Worth

Who can better explain a machine other than its inventor? Who can better define you other than the God who created you?
