Learning to Accept Myself


21

"I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made...."

Psalm 139:14


22

1. WE WERE CREATED BY GOD

2. WE WERE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD

3. We were created to glorify God 4. We were given certain

characteristics and abilities by God.


23

2. We were created in the image of God.

“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him...”

Genesis 1:27


24

1. Realize that you are a special individual.

"I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made..."

Psalm 139:14


25

2. Begin a personal relationship with your Creator.

"Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."


26

3. Don't compare yourself with others.

"...they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."

II Corinthians 10:12


27

4. Respond correctly to "defects.“

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...Courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.


28

5. Realize that God is still working on you.

"For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son..." Romans 8:29

"Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."

Philippians 1:6


29

6. Reject bitterness.

"God. I've been bitter and resentful about ___________ .

I'm confessing this sin to You right now."


30

7. Be thankful. Fannie Crosby wrote at age

6 :

“O what a happy child I am. Although I cannot see!I am resolved that in this

worldContented I will be!

How many blessings I enjoyThat other people don't!To weep or sigh because I'm

blind,I cannot and I WON'T”


31

1. Proverbs 23:7 2. Mathew 10:31 3. Ephesians 2:10


32

Accepting myself is based on trusting the love and wisdom of God, the One who made me.
