Sometimes we take ourselves for granted. We lose confidence because of unavoidable circumstances like not achieving what we want or failing to succeed in something we have worked hard for.
In the process, we lose our self-worth and self-esteem, and sometimes even our self-respect. Sometimes we feel like we are bound for failure
It doesn’t have to be this way. Valuing your self-worth is an important part of your journey toward happiness, success, and life satisfaction.
While there may be times when you are defeated, this shouldn’t stop you from reaching your dreams and achieving your highest potential. It shouldn’t cause you to question your self-worth.
In this post, we’d like to help you improve the way you view yourself. We have collected 27 Bible verses that can aid you in valuing yourself a little more.
