When you feel better about yourself, you make better choices. But sometimes, it's hard to feel good about yourself, especially when you live in a society that keeps sending out the message that you've got to be perfect.
Are you your own worst critic? And in response to that criticism, are you constantly trying to transform yourself into a person who meets society's expectations, but not God's expectations? If so, it's time to become a little more understanding of the person you see whenever you look into the mirror.
Millions of words have been written about various ways to improve self-esteem. Yet, maintaining a healthy self-image is, to a surprising extent, a matter of doing three things: 1. Seek and obey God 2. Think healthy thoughts 3. Finding things to do to please God and yourself. When you concentrate on these things, your self-image will tend to take care of itself.
When you learn to accept yourself, imperfections and all, you'll make better choices.
Read Psalm 139:13-14
