He taught me that I am someone worthy
That he loves me above all
That I am the apple of his eye
I am special to him, I listened well
I was so broken I could not be fixed
God made all the corrections and fixed all the brokenness sorrow and pain
now I rejoice him all the day long
I sure do love the Lord

I found that it is by grace we are saved through faith. I can't do enough good to earn own salvation. Christ has earned my salvation for me. That doesn't mean I can do whatever I please and have no regrets. My actions speak louder than words. I have self esteem through these things and knowing Christ is with me in all things. Christ won't give me more than I can handle in all situations in life. Where am I? At peace knowing the best is yet to come. I am involved in evangelism, church, Bible study. I know where my eternal home is and how to get there.

Knowing Christ doenst actually build yourself esteem but it actually is a humbling experience where you take every great thing you thought about yourself and look at it through God's eyes and realize without Christ you are nothing

Having Christ in my life and learning how to spend more time with God is definitly important.
My whole adult life I was wrestling with fornication. I sometimes tried to fight it, and sometimes did not. But I recently finally been freed from that sin, not just by actions, but by thoughts as well.
I use to feel worthless and though I prayed for God to not give up on me, I keep giving up on myself, thinking I can never live as the Lord needing me to because I did not believe in myself.
God never gave up on me, and He has shown me recently that I need to believe in myself and not give yp on myself.
I recently read in the Bible about seeking heavenly treasures first. I always knew that God was to be put first.
I had been a giving person, but I could have stood to do better. So, as I did more giving, including tithes, and as I picked up the Bible again, and this time did much more reading in a day, and do it everyday, making Bible reading a priority, and learning from different churches and participate as many fellowship activities I can (even if it's just to sit and talk over beverages and snacks), seeking to learn more in a different way, and coming on here to answer questions, I feel God's REALLY working through me. I am still a work in progress, but I notice a major change in me in just a short month or two.
I can even be a happy single person if need it be. Instead of looking for love, I'll wait until it's meant for me to be with someone.
I started to REALLY put things in the hands of the Lord and even asked Him to pick my friends for me so I know I have the right people in my hands.
The things that used to matter to me, most of it don't anymore!
Goes back to that Rebecca St. James song I heard almost 7 years ago "Choose God!" Having God is the best thing for me! I'm sorry for those who don't share my feelings.
Being free from fornication means also being free from any baggage that it involves! Sin is just baggage, and I am working to free myself anything other sin I commit. And I tell you the truth, if you're not married, celibacy actually feels GREAT! Thanks be to God, for He is good! He's letting a wrecth like me another chance to change myself in a way Jesus would be willing to prepare a place for me in His mansion!

It would take me all night to list the ways.
The best way I can describe it is that as a youth and through my adult years to the age of 30, I was raised a Jehovah's Witness as a boy, baptised Catholic as a teen, and then pretty much without religion throughout my twenties. We went to Mass occassionally, but never embraced the faith; my "catechism" was on JW theology (from my ex-JW parents), so as I look back on it now it explains a lot of the confusion I had about God, about morality, about truth.
It wasn't until I went through RCIA in the Catholic Church when I was 30 did I finally learn the faith. I learned correct morality, judgement of right and wrong, love of others. It was like a correction of my thinking and my view of life, and when that was corrected, life began to flow better. When that improved, I began to function better, and in turn gained more confidence in myself.
I owe it all to God and His Church. I know I'll spend the rest of my life learning all that She has to teach, but I don't care. It's because I'm home.

My self esteem was at a lifelong low when I was a Christian.

I was a mess. I hated myself and felt that I was not worthy to live or have a happy life. He has come in and healed my heart from hurts. I now like myself, and other people also.
