If you are low on self-esteem and trying to remember your value, the best place to look is to our Creator Himself. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, His opinion and intention should matter most. I was having a hard time remembering my identity and decided to start asking God who I was and what I meant to Him. I have compiled a list from the Bible where the Lord showed me who we each are. I hope reading this will feed your soul. I have found that reading this list daily to myself has begun to resolve my identity crisis.
