You have to get rid of the I am statements

Beliefs that we attach ourselves to that can cause low self esteem because they CANNOT fill the need we have in our hearts! So we need to STOP these beliefs if we want to have the confidence in ourselves and who God created us to be! 

1. I am what I possess- reminder- this is not our home. And everything we have belongs to God. So no more being defined by our things. 

2. I am my accomplishments- I’ve talked about this as well. I went through many seasons of feeling like I had to be accomplished..i still fight this inclination from time to time. Of putting my worth in what I do. How I perform. What I’ve accomplished. Now of course I”m striving for excellence in all I do.  I’m going to do my best to steward this life that God has given me well! I just have to keep my eyes on Him so that my value and significance comes from being His daughter and nothing else. Make sense?

3. I am what other people say- This could go along with the accomplishments. I am a words person. Have you read the love languages book or do you know what your love language is? Well mine are words of affirmation and quality time(almost tied) so what people think matters to me. Now I”m not necessarily a people pleaser but I’d much rather have people happy with me than not! Haha And when people give me compliments it goes a LONG way and on the opposite, when people critize me it takes root and can cause deep wounds if I don’t quickly surrender it to Jesus and understand that my worth doesn’t come from others!

4. I am what I look like-Ekk this is a hard one for us women because we want to be pretty and it’s been instilled in us since we were young that what we look like matters.  I believe we should want to bring God our excellence in all areas of our lives. We should take pride in how we look because ultimately we represent God, our family and ourselves! However, this shouldn’t be what we put our value and worth in! God looks at the heart and the most beautiful person is someone who cares for others, loves God with their whole heart and loves and supports their family well. It’s obviously a healthy balance right? Find spaces to bring your girly prettiness to the world but also your inside beauty is what counts. How you treat others, how you serve others and your family, how you love God and honor Him first. THIS is what matters. 

I hope this encourages, challenges and blesses you today!
