A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "Gain Self-Esteem By Dying To Ourselves"

Good Evening Everyone,
 
John 12: 25: He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Before we can begin to make significant progress in our spiritual growth and achieve a mature and satisfying Self-Esteem, the Bible tells us we have to learn to die to ourselves. Jesus said: If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
 
We need to be willing to put Jesus ahead of every other relationship. For our own happiness, we need to give up all other trusts and sources of life. Just as a seed must die to produce a plant, so we must bury our confidence in all other hopes before we can discover the ultimate Blessedness of finding our life and dignity and Self-Acceptance through a Complete reliance on God.
 
According to the Word of God Life is designed to be lived with: Purpose, Peace, and Power!   Until a person comes to Know the power they Possess, then Life will continue to be miserable. Selah. Do You feel Bad About Yourself? Where did it come from? Let's Be Real... God Bless.
Almighty and Merciful God, who are the strength of the weak, the refreshment of the weary. We pray for those of Your Children who have a low self-esteem and uncertain of how to pray for themselves. Father, we pray they will present their bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto You, and not let their bodies dominate but bring them into a place of subjection to their spirit man.. According to Your Word, reveal Yourself to them mightly.
 
Let them know that they were bought for a price, purchased with a preciousness and paid for. May they die to themselves; thereby it will bring honor and glory to Your name. May they shrink from whatever might offed You or discredit the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May they become bright lights in this dark world holding it out as an offering to all others - "This Word of Life." Thank You Father, in Jesus name we pray Amen. Amen.
"Living The Abundant Life!"
