What do you think of yourself?

'When others say nice things it reflects their opinion of you.  But when you can speak well of yourself it reflects your opinion of you - and that's the one you live with everyday.'

It is always nice to hear something good said about yourself.  I don't know about you but I love it when it happens.  I think by human nature we all crave to be loved, and one way we get that feeling is when others speak well of us - it makes us feel appreciated and good.

But what do you think of yourself?  Do you speak well off yourself?

I bet this situation is familiar...during the day you've had lots of conversations and comments.  But the one that sticks out, and the one you remember is the negative one.  If you are constantly putting yourself down, then you won't ever hear the good stuff that others say, and more importantly you won't think to give yourself any positivity.

When God did His miraculous work of creation He was alone, no one was there to applaud Him or say 'Well done, that was awesome.'  So He expressed His own delight to Himself saying that 'It was very good.'
We need to learn from Him.

'Loneliness isn't lack of people, it is lack of purpose.  It is not lack of affection, but lack of direction.  When you need purpose and direction for living there's only one place to go - to God.'
