Previous Daily Devotional About selling yourself short 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (NIV) Selling yourself short or putting yourself down is the same activity as feeding yourself rotten spiritual food. Thinking poorly of yourself is your ego twisted up to hurt you. Putting yourself down is a form of distorted selfishness. We are children of God. We carry the Holy Spirit or God within us. We carry His kingdom within us. To put yourself down, is to put down a wonderful creation put upon this earth by God. We are all mistake-ridden sinners. However, putting yourself down is no way to fix this condition. To denigrate yourself is to make the condition of sin and the sin problem worse than it needs to be. We cannot turn away from the dark influence of Satan if we continually feed that influence back to ourselves. Look up and see Christ reaching out to you. Take His hand and enjoy the new you. When you become a new person in Christ then the old person does not exist. When you accept Christ into your life, the old person is gone. See yourself as you really are...a new person in Christ Jesus. |
