Self-Esteem

Looking Up Instead of Looking Inside

By: Leslie Vernick

Narrated by: Sarah Zimmerman

How do you answer the question: "Who am I?" Do you base your self image on your successes, failures, acceptance, and/or rejections by others? Most of us do, but when we base our value and worth on external sources rather than what God says, our self-image will shift like sand, leading to an unstable and anxious sense of who we are. Experienced counselor and author Leslie Vernick shares that the answer to healing a negative self-image and low self-esteem is not in trying harder, gaining more popularity, being more productive, having more possessions, securing more power, having a coveted position, or in achieving perfection. A healthy sense of self doesn't happen by focusing on self at all. Instead a healthy self-image combines the security of knowing God's love with the humility that comes from knowing ourselves and how much we need Christ.
