How We See Ourselves
by an Old Disciple of Jesus Christ
“…we saw giants…and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”~ Num. 13:33
It is not so important how others see us as it is how we see ourselves. Because of the image they had created in their minds of themselves, they mistakenly thought others saw them the same way. Interestingly, the giants had never even seen them at all
There is a two-fold danger in every Christian’s life. The first is thinking more highly of yourself than you ought. The second is to think less of yourself than you should. The former makes one overconfident. The latter leaves us underachievers.
Some years ago, a young man, my nephew, who meant a lot to me committed suicide by literally drinking himself to death. He left a note. On it was written these words: “I ain’t never been nothin’ and I ain’t ever gonna be nothin.”
That’s what he thought; it’s not what God thought!

Words of great wisdom and insight. Satan works hard making people think they are either too good not to need a Savior or so bad that He couldn't possibly love them. We need to be able to counter both of these lies if we hope to sow a seed of faith.
