Let me offer you three anchoring truths to help navigate through life’s many storms.  For many, the struggle for self-love and acceptance overshadows much of life. Abuse, trauma, divorce, death, and rejection are all challenging events to work through and often end up defining who we are.

As Christ followers, we have a different story! I encourage you to anchor your value and self-acceptance in these three truths:

• I am a child of God’s.
• I am uniquely created.
• I am to glorify Him.

I am a child of God’s speaks to my value. I am valuable not because of anything I have done, ever will do, or because of who I am or who I might yet become. I am valuable because I belong to God. This truth is not conditional. It is true now and always will be because of the unchanging nature of God.

I am uniquely created speaks to the fact that I don’t need to compare myself to others. I am one of a kind. The Creator has given me gifts and talents that reflect his personality.

I am to glorify Him gives me a purpose in life. I have freedom to express my uniqueness, but at the same time my goal is to bring glory to Him.

These anchoring truths free me from shame, condemnation and comparison. They give me a deep-rooted security in who I am because of who He is. Spend some time meditating on these three truths and see if they don’t help shift your thinking.
