How’s your self-esteem?
- Off the charts
- Comes and goes
- Rock bottom
What does the Bible say?
We are God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10). Can’t get better than that.
We’re reminded not to think too highly of ourselves (Romans 12:3). We all sin and fall short of the glory (Romans 3:23). That’s humbling.
A final word from God’s Word:
Galatians 3:28 (NIV)
You are all one in Christ Jesus.
Self-esteem isn’t a contest. You aren’t better because someone else is worse. We’re all better in Christ.
No mere mortal could endure for a moment what I face every day, but fortunately, I am mighty.
That’s a paraphrase from Marvel Comics’ Thor, and Barb hates it when I say that.
But there’s a lot of truth there, and false modesty can be as unappealing as hubris.
Hubris–great word. Hmmm . . . wonder how I can slip it into a post this week.
Just use me as the example! 😀
