Do you want to know a secret? Everyone on earth has low self-esteem. Some people just deal with it better. From the most beautiful to the least, from the brightest to the less bright, from the richest to the poorest. We all see something in ourselves that we don't like.
You are perfect just the way you are. You are made in a way pleasing to God. Rev 4.11

Oh good grief!! God made you because He loves you. He knows what you are capable of. So you have low self esteem. Many of us do. Big whoop. Live life. Embrace it. Make the best of it. We all struggle with something. It is up to each of us to make the most out of the life God gave us. He obviously thought you deserved to live, or He wouldn't have created you to begin with. He has plans for you. You won't know what God has in store for you until you set about to defeat your fears and insecurities and go out and live life in spite of them.
Sometimes, what God has planned for us is just be relatable to someone else who has the same situation as we do. So you have low self esteem. Maybe someone else does also, but that person suffers from it worse than you do and it is negatively affecting their life in a very serious way. Perhaps seeing the example of how you live your life with low self esteem and seeing that you are able to still live a happy and fulfilling life, can be an inspiration to that person and encourage them to make changes in their own life. You just never know how God can use every little aspect of who we are to bring about something positive in our own life or the lives of others. Hang in there, lift your head high and celebrate who you are. We ALL struggle with something. Remember that. Those of us who seem to have it all are often "faking it". Ever hear the expression "fake it till you make it?". Well, it has to do with faking self-confidence. If you fake it often enough, soon or later it will become a habit pattern and a way of life. It will be natural for you to feel confident because you have been practicing confidence while you were faking it.

Everyone has a low self esteem at first. He gives you multiple oppurtunities to build your self esteem up. when I first started going to a Church I had a low self esteem, but now it's higher up. It just takes a little bit of time. Everyone has to start from the beginning.

Maybe he knew that one day, your self-esteem would increase, and you would enjoy life to the fullest! At least I hope so! I have always suffered from low self-esteem too. But we can work on this. I wish you the best.

So that you could work on your self esteem and eventually help others overcome this problem as well.
People who are always thinking me me me end up with low self esteem because they can never get enough. Try thinking about helping others and see how that makes you feel.

Read in the Bible the stories of Moses and of Gideon. They were two nobodies with low self esteem.
God can use people with a "It's not about me." attitude.

Because when you are weak is when you are strong! Confusing isn't it? Didn't understand that either at first!
Your low self-esteem is obviously a result of something lacking within yourself - attention, love, confidence (whatever that may be).
Truly seek HIM and you'll find that YOU REALLY DO HAVE HIS ATTENTION! HIS attention to you could NEVER compare to anyone's attention here in this world!
Truly seek HIM & you'll find CONFIDENCE in the fact that you are very important to HIM. WOW! That's the ULTIMATE confidence to have! HE can (at a wink) smash someone that people are idolizing if HE wants to. He's all powerful! All loving and HE'S always on your side!
Truly seek HIM & you'll find HIS LOVE! Whose love would you REALLY rather have? My husband knows that I love God MORE than I love him. Nobody could EVER outlove God! He has the ULTIMATE LOVE FOR US! So obvious when HE's willing to sacrifice HIMSELF to reconcile with us. Seriously, do you know anyone who loves you so much that they are willing to go through what HE went through to show you that HE wants a relationship with you?
As a Christian, we MUST live like ONE! Christ WON the battle for us! YOU now have the victory over the enemy who's feeding you all these lies about how UNworthy you are! Because obviously - you are valuable in God's eyes to do what HE did!
PS: If you think you have it bad - - read the Book of Ecclesiastes - - King Solomon's book and learn from it!

Self esteem is the difference between who you really are and how you want to be. So to improve self esteem, work hard on yourself and don't set your ideals too high.

Cheris---he lost track of what he was doin--but I bet you have a great body to the 9's. Bet people are lookin at what they see --rather than how you feel. That is all their is when you meet other people. They are good to you and the self esteme is really hi. See a doctor they have chemicals that can make this more bearable. Better living thru chemistry.

You cannot blame God for your low self-esteem. Blame your environment.
