The value of every human life is tremendous and cannot be seen in measurements that meet the eye! Each one of us are worth much more than what we have, what we do, what we know, look like or experience; yet at every turn the world seems to dictate that it is these very things that should be esteemed and that carry the highest value in life.
Our level of self-esteem and the level of importance we place upon most aspects of all human life is often colored by current marketing strategies, all manner of media, misguided peers, and society in general. Sadly, whatever happens to be "popular" at the moment is the gauge often used in ranking the esteem level of both self and others. From pre-teen to senior citizen, the difference between one's self-worth and the lies we have come to believe is tremendous.
As one whose sense of self-esteem was practically non-existant a few years back, I will be forever thankful to my pastor who helped me see, with clarity, the marked difference between self-esteem and self-worth. My next blog will be one of sharing this difference as it was shared with me. It is my hope that my words, which will come from my own experience, will speak into the life of at least one person who might be struggling with their own sense of self-worth right now.
