Only God can heal the deep self-doubt that haunts the human race. Only He can make us feel like persons of worth and dignity. To that end He gives us “…the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs–heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” (Romans 8:15-17).” If Jesus dared not turn stones into bread to prove His self-worth, but trusted only in the Word of the Father, how dare we do otherwise (see Luke 4:3, 4).
“[we] are…fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.”
— Ephesians 2:19 (NKJV)
Lord help us to build our self-esteem only on our identity in Christ. Amen.
