Self Esteem

You are altogether beautiful, my darling; in you there is no flaw.

For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.”

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,

…but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
