Spiritual Self-Esteem
If the self-esteem of a Spirit is destroyed or diminished.....they lose their joy and peace......and fear and despair enter into them.
Look at the story of Adam and Eve. They had no fear, and lived in joy and peace, until their self-esteem was destroyed.
The serpent knew that when they disobeyed God, their self-esteem would die, and they would be filled with fear and despair, and their joy and peace would be destroyed.
So Adam and Eve were tricked by the lies of the serpent. (Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: )
Thinking with their outward eyes: The forbidden fruit looked good to eat.... And the serpent told them....surely God would not kill them for eating of the forbidden fruit. They did not realize that their joy and peace and self-esteem would be destroyed. They did not realize they would be filled with fear and despair. They did not realize they would not longer respect or love themselves.
God had to restore Adam and Eve to good self-esteem. No one knows how long it took for Adam and Eve to feel good about themselves again. Or how long it took for their joy and peace to be restored.
They had to be convinced that God still loved them. They had to love themselves again.
We are all like Adam and Eve.
The serpent has tricked us all. And we have all done wrong things, and suffered the effects of this. Our self-esteem has been destroyed and we have been filled with fear and despair.
And we all must be restored again to good self-esteem.
God Loves You. God wants you to love yourself. God wants you to love everyone. God wants everyone to be happy and filled with joy and peace. God wants everyone to feel good self-esteem.
Think about God's Forgiveness. Think about God's Mercy. Think about God's Compassion. Think about God's Kindness. Think about your oneness with God.... you were Created in God's Image.
You also are Love. You also are Forgiveness. You also are Mercy. You also are Compassionate. You also are Kind.
Your Joy will return. Your Peace will return. Your Self-esteem will return. You will feel good about yourself again.
The serpent will not win over you.
God's Love will restore you to good spiritual health. And you will then be able to help your brethren....also be restored to good self-esteem.
Love is the Able to save and restore the troubled Spirits.
When we find fault in others or condemn others...... we are attacking their self-esteem. We are affecting their Joy and Peace. This is not what we are supposed to do.
Finding fault and condemning is the opposite of helping others.
Jesus told us to forgive and love everyone....even our enemies. Jesus was showing us how to help our brothers and sisters. And help restore them to good self-esteem.
If your Brothers and Sisters do anything that you think is wrong......FORGIVE THEM.....HAVE MERCY UPON THEM.
Be like Jesus: gentle and kind and good.
Tell others that: "You Love Them". Tell others that: "They are Important".
Be a Spiritual blessing to others. Forgive Others.....Forgive Yourself.
Be good to Yourself and Love Yourself.
Together, we overcome the lies of the serpent.
The children of God (Love) will receive and understand the Words of God (Love)......the children of the devil (hate)...will reject and despise the Words of God (Love).

John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Jesus is the: logos, voice, messenger, word, light, expression, truth of Love, Jesus gave us the Words of Love.

John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
