You have value

A man who was feeling depressed went to see a psychiatrist. After sharing his problems he expected some profound words of wisdom that would make him feel better. "Well," the psychiatrist exclaimed, "I've diagnosed your problem. It's low self-esteem - and it's very common among losers!"
When you view yourself negatively you tend to gravitate toward people who talk down to you. But when you know that God loves you and "plans...to give you a future and a hope" (Jer 29:11 NLT), your entire outlook changes!
