Life has a funny way of limiting our thinking in regards to self. Our up bringing, school environment, work environment, churches, achievements and failures can shape in us positive or negative self images. It is important to remember that God’s opinion of us does not change because of what others say, or by what happens to us. We can beat ourselves up because of missed opportunities or failures and this negative self sabotaging affects our faith, how we pray, and how we respond to present opportunities. I have discovered that God is far more optimistic about me and my future than I ever will be!!
So, instead of taking on board all the negative self talk, here is a list of Faith Affirmations to help you build a Godly Self Image. My personal challenge and prayer for you this week is that you would read this list out loud everyday . As you speak out these truths you will experience the transforming power of God’s word in your life.
