Why is it so many members struggle with self-worth and self-esteem? I go over exactly that in this podcast! This week instead of a Spiritual Gift I go over Self Esteem vs. Identity and Potential. This is KEY for us and our children to realize before seeking Spiritual Gifts.
When asked, “How can we help those struggling with a personal challenge?” President Russell M. Nelson instructed, “Teach them their identity and their purpose.”
The KEY is to understand
WORTH vs WORTHY
We must understand and have a testimony about our WORTH and BEING WORTHY! Both of them! We we just teach our kids to have worldly Self Esteem that can and probably will leave them.
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” (Rev. 12:7, 9.) You were among those who chose to follow the plan of Him who became our Redeemer rather than the plan of him who became our adversary. Great and marvelous is your place in the plan of God our Eternal Father.”
