Now You Are God’s Own
Dr RJ Sing
“Once you were not a people [at all], but now you are God’s people; once you were unpitied, but now you are pitied and have received mercy.”
Your God given value does not depend on special genes from superior parents. Your worth before God is not measured by your seats, the colour of your skin, super intelligence or formal education. Created by God, you are a part of God. it is right that you esteem what God esteems and value what God values. All sorts of miracles start happening when you discover and accept your value and your potential.
The Bible says, “You are God’s workmanship” Ephesians 2:10. The man who wrote most of the Psalms was wonder-struck by how God made human persons. You have made people a little less than God, [KJV – “angels;” Original Hebrew, French and certain other language versions – “God.”] and You crown them with glory and honour. You have given them dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under their feet – Psalm 8:5-6.
The bottom line of positive and stable self-esteem is when you can say: “I accept the value that God has put on me.” When you do that, you will then co-operate with God to develop the Best you in this world.
