How do you see yourself before God ?
I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. (Philemon 1:6 NIV)

You may not think highly of yourself, but God wants you to like who you are. 

Here are 5 practical tips to help increase your self-acceptance and improve your opinion of yourself: 

1. Never speak negatively about yourself. The communication of your faith is made effectual by acknowledging every good thing in you through Christ Jesus, not by focusing on the wrong. Rather confess your sins and move on.

2. Avoid comparing yourself to others. Peter encountered this obstacle when he compared himself to another disciple. He said, “Lord, what about this man? Jesus replied, If I want him to stay (survive, live) until I come, what is that to you?…” (John 21:21-22 AMP). We are not called to compare, only to comply. We all will stand before God to give an account of our lives. Make sure that you are righteous before God every day and rather focus on that.

3. Let God determine your worth. Remember that you have already been accepted by God. Remember Jesus died for you personally, that gives you value.

4. Keep your flaws in perspective. It’s ok to see where you want to improve, but make sure you appreciate your progress. Have a plan of action how you will move forward. Remeber not to drive your life looking at the rear view mirror. 

5. Discover the true source of confidence. If you place your confidence in God, you can’t help but have a healthy attitude. Do your best, and leave the results to Him. It is God who works through you to accomplish His will. – JM
