Those who have a healthy sense of worth are able to feel safe and secure with their own emotions and feelings. They feel their feelings and emotions instead of avoiding them or trying to control them.
One who is authentically living out of a healthy congruent self has the courage to be who they are and tell their own story with their whole heart, demonstrating the courage to be flawed and imperfect.
Emotionally healthy people generally have positive relationships. These people have connection based on authenticity; that is instead of living out of what others think one enters into a relationship as they really are.
Conversely, those who don’t seem to get along with anyone are often emotionally unstable. Self-esteem has a direct impact on the quality of an individual’s relationships.
Individuals with a core belief of personal worth treat themselves and others more compassionately because they see inherent value in people.
Wholeness at the level of self is rooted in accepting and being accepted by the God of unconditional positive regard. What we let God see and accept in us also becomes what we then can accept in ourselves.
God’s love is a holy, safe place, where we can be seen as imperfect and flawed, and still have absolute value and worth.
Such utterly free and gratuitous love is the only love that validates, transforms, and changes us at the deepest levels of consciousness. It is what we all desire and what we were created for.
Scripture reveals God as the ultimate source of unconditional positive regard. God designed human beings to experience and flourish as recipients of His divine love/regard.
God loves us with a passionate absorbed interest. The embracing love of God sustains our existence. The inextinguishable love of God is the only hope for our fulfillment.
Love is our identity and calling, for we are children of love.
Created from love, of love and for love, our existence makes no sense apart from Divine Love.
The image of God in every person is a defining orientation point that transcends man’s finite understanding of himself.
A compass reading that could identify a person’s “divine purpose for being” and “divine place in the universe” is a more authoritative orientation point.
