How To Overcome Inferiority and Low Self-Image, Part 2

Are you struggling with feelings of inferiority? Has your self-esteem been crushed by a soured relationship or job loss? Chip shares how you can rise above those feelings of inferiority and a low self-esteem to experience God’s love for you like never before.

Distorted mirrors destroy our lives:

• The Appearance Mirror
• The Performance Mirror
• The Status Mirror

Thesis – Until we see ourselves as God sees us, we are destined to FEEL INFERIOR.

3 keys to a Biblical self-image:

1. Get God’s View of You = KNOWLEDGE

You are significant because:

• You're UNIQUE -Gen 1:27, Ps 139:13-14
• You're LOVED -1 Sam 16:7, Jer 31:3
• You're VALUABLE -1 Cor 6:19-20
• You're SECURE -Eph 1:13
• You're INDISPENSIBLE -Eph 2:10, 4:15-16

2. Believe God’s View is True = FAITH

• Faith is built on God’s Word -Rom 10:17
• Faith grows through mind renewal -Rom 12:2
• Develop a plan to remove the distorted mirrors of the world with the mirror of God’s Word -Jam 1:22-24

3. Discover the “You” that’s True = EXPERIENCE

• Unwrap your SPIRITUAL GIFTS -1 Cor 12, Rom 12
• Unleash your SPIRITUAL PASSION -Ps 37:4
• Use your God-given TALENTS -Ex 31:3
• Embrace your God-given PERSONALITY -1 Cor 2:11
• Leverage your past EXPERIENCE -Rom 8:28

Ministry is how God makes what’s true “of” us, true “in” us. Sometimes it’s only in the act of “loving others: that we can fathom that we ourselves are loved!
