No Self-Esteem is a
Barrier to Communication.
Lack of self-esteem is one of the greatest
barriers to communication. Many of us have grown up with feelings of
inadequacy. We look back on a string of failures and find our successes
hard to remember. Thus when we come to marriage, we find it difficult to
express our ideas for fear of further rejection and failure.
Is there no hope for the one who perceives
himself as weak and failing? If this is true then a large segment of our
society stands without help. How have we developed our self concept?
By judging ourselves by the value system of those around us. But the
world's values are wrong. Certainly you have weaknesses, but you
also have strengths. God does not run a cookie factory. He runs a
snowflake factory, noted for variety.
Be your best self under God's direction.
You are a worthy person because you are made in God's image and you are
his child, by faith in Christ. Don't let your emotions push you around.
Admit your feelings of inadequacy to God, but thank Him that you can do
all things through Christ, who strengthens you.
