Following Jesus means… 
We repeat His words 
and replicate His actions 
with His heart motives.

Review: Markers of a Damaged View of Self

I am a chronic evaluator and comparer of people/relationships (cf., pride, bitterness, grudge-holding, and insecurity, etc).

I seek out validation to maintain or improve my self-concept or group status.

I pull people near and push people away based on how they affect my self-concept.

I instinctively use people.

I don’t have healthy long-term relationships.

My interactions are hindered by the fear of rejection (default of insecure attachment).

My worth actually changes with my clothing choices or things I own.

I experience irrational embarrassment or shame, cf., imposter syndrome.

I feel like imaginary cameras are on me all the time.

My motives are sometimes driven by self-sabotaging and I don’t know why.

My perspective of self is dominated by the outside me and not the inside me.

I tend to create God in my own image because I am afraid of God and don’t like how He makes me feel.
