Once in a life time, we might have the feeling of insecurity, low self esteem, or not valueable. Some feel that way because of appearance: I am fat, I am not tall, I am ugly, etc. Some because of social economics status: I am poor, I am not educated, I have not got a good job. Some feel that way because of rejection, broken relationship, abuse. We feel that way for so many other reasons.

Most people try to cover up by racing to be the better version of ourself. I do not say it is not good. It is indeed very good to always do better, aim better, be better. However changing should be coming from the mindset and perspective. Without changing the mindset, no mattter how well we do in life, we will be easily back to feel the way we feel before: inferior, low, not valueable,

Maybe… you are now feeling that way. This is the good news for you. You are not alone. We all face our own issues and that is OK. Nobody is perfect, we all have flaws. That is perfectly normal to feel the way you feel now, but you should not be in the pity party for your whole life.

Another good news: you can always change your perspective and mindset. Please know and acknowledge that you are valuable.

Psalm 139. I love love this verse, one of my favorit in the bible. Whenever I am having a tough and rough time and doubt myself, I keep coming back to these bible verses.

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!

I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me.

Psalms 139:13‭-‬18 NLT

Let’s root ourself in how God creates and views us, and let us our mind and perspective be renewed by the truth:

You are special

You are precious

You are valueable
