God Esteem, Not Self Esteem Summary It seems that "self esteem" is a household phrase nowadays. But for those who have low self esteem it's more than just a phrase. It represents real pain. Trying to boost your own self esteem, at times, is so difficult. Good self esteem can be very fragile. People or circumstances can really shake our feelings of self worth. Too often life seems to control us by shaping our feelings. We all desperately want to find approval, acceptance, hope, and comfort. Life seems so hard. We just want relief. We all want to discover our true value and purpose. But we can't always control situations or other people. So what can we do? The answer lies not in what we do, but in how we think. The challenge is to change how we think. Rather than focusing on how much we esteem ourselves, we should focus on God's esteem for us. Complete contentment results from considering how much He loves us. At the core of God esteem is an intimate awareness of God. He who created the universe created you - not by mistake, but by loving design. God esteem is the knowledge that there is One who loves you unconditionally even when striving to please others fails. He loves you when everyone else rejects you or betrays you. He forgives you and still loves you when you fail or sin. He demonstrated that love when He sent His only Son to die for you. God esteem involves an assurance that you have a purpose in life. There is a confidence that God, who esteems you so highly, will take care of you (even through difficult times). It's a matter of shifting focus and trusting in Him. Shifting from self esteem to God esteem results in relief from the hidden, helpless feelings of inadequacy. As you relinquish your need to control your self esteem and allow God to minister to you, He will guide you through life. Trust the Lord to minister to you and heal those emotions we refer to as poor self esteem. In this book you will find promises that the Bible has for you. As you read them you will gain an assurance that God will complete the good work He has begun in you. He is faithful and He loves you. The entire thrust of the book is to help you transform your thinking about self esteem. Practical suggestions are offered to address feelings typically referred to as poor self esteem. They include: Shift your focus to God. Shift your focus to helping others. Be a God pleaser and not a man pleaser. Pray for God to reveal His will for you and to enable you to do it. Work hard. Change your expectations. Expect tribulation rather than accept the popular belief that we are all entitled to a life of complete comfort. Ask God to reveal your gifts and talents. Periodically do a "reality check." Look around and see that problems are all relative. We all experiencing difficulties. Life doesn't seem so unfair when we consider what others have to deal with. Our challenges in life sometimes pale in comparison to the ordeals of others. We can always find someone who is worse off. Welcome mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than viewing them as failures. It's at those times we see God working the most.

Every human being has an innate call to be truly known as significant and loved by others. God has created and set this longing within us to be known for who we are. Knowing you is to know that your identity is in Jesus Christ because you were created in God’s image. An individual’s lack of this knowledge can result in a sociopsychological identity crisis and role confusion as characterized by social psychologist Erik Erikson. To know your identity is to know whose you are and how you came to be you. Therefore, much of our emotional pain, turmoil, and dysfunctions in our personal lives are predicated on not knowing our true identity. Essentially, we make an effort to behave according to our self-concept and self-esteem, which are based on the versions of reactions we have received from others. Consequently, self-esteem points toward the distinction between one’s perceived self-concept and with one’s ideal self. Our sense of worth is initially tremendously impacted during our early years because we develop a vision of ourselves through the expressions we received by the significant people during those early years. Loving affirmations promote good self-identity, and being rejected can be the basis for a negative self-image later in life. Due to such unprocessed emotionally trauma from our early years, many of us experience deficits in core longings. Also, these unprocessed emotional wounds impact our relationships with God, self, and others. Consequently, we need the aid of a structure that promotes the truth of God esteem and to position us for emotional healing that positively impact our identity in Christ. This book presents elements of a spiritual formational approach, which incorporates the knowledge of core longings, self-fulfilling behaviors, and emotional wounds into a personal healing structure that impacts our Christian identity.

"What is refreshing about Mr. Lewis' practical work is not only that it combines sociological theory with biblical theology, but that it comes from the pen of a practitioner who speaks from experience in dealing with people in need of esteem. He challenges the popular assumptions that only modern sociological theory can give definition and solution in the issue of esteem. He suggests that the issue of esteem cannot be separated from the problem of sin in human nature. Mr. Lewis argues clearly that Christian faith restores esteem, and this is not merely self-esteem! That is, the call to Christian conversion points beyond individualistic esteem to esteeming God, the world and His entire creation. Self-esteem flows from this broader biblical view of esteem." Isaac J. Canales, Ph.D. Senior Pastor, Mission Eben-Eser Family Church Carson, California. "A House Esteemed is a rare integration of evangelical Christian outreach, combined with social and behavioral research... that proposes creative and effective adult Christian education programs...that should be widely applied in Evangelical denominations." Hobart A. Burch, Ph. D. Professor, School of Social Work, University of Nebraska at Omaha "I see in A House of Esteemed the potential to be an invaluable aid to the minister, teacher and student alike, in their pursuit of knowledge and clarity concerning some of the traditional beliefs and teachings that have helped to turn our 'Religious World' into a Battleground'."

“Do you see what I see?” is a book designed to reveal the principles of Godly wisdom needed to establish, maintain and guard our self esteem. We are made in the image of God; so male or female we are beautiful inside and out. The word of God say’s in Psalm 50:2, “From Zion, perfect in beauty God shines forth.” (KJV) This is a classic description of self esteem established from biblical principles. This does not come from a manual of intellectual rules. The book speaks to readers about our mind, our heart, the principles, and the foundation on which we build our self esteem. The book also explains the difference between authentic and camouflaged self esteem, men who suffer from low self esteem and walking in the beauty of godly self esteem. Believe it or not there are women in the Body of Christ who are suffering from low self esteem. They come to church Sunday after Sunday dressed up, flawless make-up, hair flowing or stacked and inside they have no idea who they really are because there is so much pain and torment. The outward appearance is dressed up to hide what is on the inside. But the devil is a liar, what is outside should just be an enhancement of the beauty that is on the inside of them. The two must link up; the inside and outside have to connect in order to walk in the truth of God given self esteem. Self esteem is the inner strength, confidence, and beauty that we possess as human beings. It is not arrogant or haughty it is powerful. The enemy wants to take this from you. The bible says, the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The enemy hates God’s children, and the self esteem that reflects the glory of Jesus Christ blinds him from seeing and getting a shot to destroy it. The building up of self esteem starts in the mind. When a woman looks into the mirror, if she likes what she sees then her thoughts register and it is displayed outwardly. If she doesn’t like what she sees, she first analyzes if it is something she can quickly fix; such as a small flaw. Anything beyond her immediate control causes her to develop a complex which begins to develop in her subconscious mind and travels to her heart. This is the plan of the enemy leading to the destruction of her self esteem. The enemy seeks to devour our self esteem. His mission is to attack us with low self esteem in order to entangle us and hold us captive. He plays tricks with our minds to try to make us believe his lies. It is imperative that we do not come into agreement with him. Our mind and our thoughts must be subject to the Lord Jesus Christ. We have the power to command every thought that comes in our mind to be subject to Jesus Christ. We have to guard our hearts. God tells us in His word to guard our hearts for out of it springs the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23). In other words it is what is in our hearts that show people who we really are. This is why we must be hidden in Christ; our place of refuge. He will keep us in His care so that who He say’s we are, will reflect to those who see us. As long as we walk this earth we will have enemies. King David was a giant killer. He defeated his enemies because the confidence inside of him came from God. The more confident we become, the more the enemy will try to destroy our self esteem. However, we already have power over him and his tactics so there is no need to fear him. In order to be all that God has created us to be we must build our self esteem on His foundation, it is a sure and eternal foundation. Self Esteem established by God is authentic. There used to be a saying, “Is it live or is it Memorex?” Is the sound of what we hear live, real, is it recorded, or is it someone else’s voice? Camouflaged self esteem is derived from someone else’s voice. Authentic self esteem is eccentric. Its beauty is exuberant. The principles of godly self esteem are not gender specific. God created men in His image and beauty so that same truth applies to men

They cause our society, including that segment of the population that attends church regularly, to evaluate their acceptability based on wrong standards and harsh rules.

Is loving yourself really the solution to all your problems? In the world of popular psychology, there are few things more protected or indulged than that fragile little trait known as self-esteem. Today, it’s not the sin of pride we worry about, but the sin of not liking ourselves enough. In Ego Trip, psychiatrist Glynn Harrison takes aim at what has become one of Western society’s most entrenched ideologies. He charts the rise of this ubiquitous value, arguing that the “science” underlying it is flawed, that there is little evidence efforts to promote self-esteem work, and that, in its popular form of “boosterism,” self-esteem promotion comes with hazardous and unwanted side effects. Is there a more biblically and psychologically secure approach to big questions of significance and worth? Dr. Harrison asks. You will be intrigued, challenged, and quite possibly freed by his conclusion: compared with the failed ideology of self-esteem, the gospel offers the foundation for personal significance and meaning.
