self esteem

I have a cat that has low self esteem.  He is never happy unless he is sitting on your lap.  You can throw him off 30 times in a row and he just keeps coming back.  It's hard to understand- good looking cat, well fed, life long member of our family, why would he have self- esteem issues?

Then I look at so many of us.  Nice families, great lives, but low self esteem.  I cannot tell you the number of people that I talk to that are unhappy with themselves or feeling bad for some little reason.  Sometimes they don't even know why they feel badly.

Let us take comfort in the loving reach of our heavenly Father.  He is always there for us.  He never throws us out of the room.  In His arms are comfort and consolation.  He can sooth the painful days.

Peter wrote, "cast your cares upon Him, for he cares for you."  The psalmist wrote, "cast your cares upon Him, for he will sustain you."

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
