Verse of the Week: Genesis 1:26 "Then God said, 'Let us make people in Our image, to be like Ourselves.'"
THIS WEEK'S "HOT TOPIC":
Image is supposedly everything. So what's self-image? Your self- image is the mental picture you have of yourself. It started being formed the moment you were born, and by the time you were 5 or 6 the person you think you are was so locked into your brain that you madly resist efforts to change it. That doesn't mean you CAN'T change it. Lots of people have moved from a negative to a positive self-image - or from a positive to a negative self-image. The point is this: Once you get a fix on who you think you are, you don't change easily. And since your self-image impacts every responsibility and relationship you have, it's crucial to acquire a health self-image NOW.
If you have a negative self-image, you don't think highly of yourself. Your often pessimistic, lacking in confidence, extremely sensitive to the opinions of others, self-conscious about how you look or perform, constantly wondering what people think of you, clingy in relationships, unsure of how to receive another's love, looking for possessions to make you happy, and speaking negatively about yourself or others. That is not a happy way to be.
A healthy self-image is seeing yourself as God sees you- no more, no less. If you have a healthy self-image, you DO think of yourself - but that's because God thinks highly of you. You accept the reality that God created you in His own image as someone with infinite value and worth.

When you see who you are in Jesus Christ, nothing can every change that. You gain a positive and a healthy view of your self. And you can get ready for God to do things through you. Why? Research shows that people act in ways that fit the mental picture they have of themselves. If you see yourself as a failure, you will act like a failure. You'll also find it hard to believe God wants the best for you.
A healthy self-image bulks you up with the strength to meet not only your own needs but also other's needs. It empowers you to be the kind of friend and Christian God calls you to be.

If you have a hard time with getting a "profile" to publish your comment you can #1 set up a Google account..which is just your email addy and your password. It just allows you to have a profile to comment..nothing more. #2 you can choose to the "name/URL" profile. All you need is , again, your email addy, and a URL. You can get a URL by going to YOUR Profile page on Facebook...copy and paste the URL found at the top of the page...the "http:// blah blah blah...." and put that in where it asks for "URL". You will have to do that every time though, where getting a Google account will only be once..and it will recognize you every time.

10 ***COMMENT HERE***:
~i think this is my biggest struggle~ i cant ever seem to make myself look the way i want to look. i look so much on the opinions of other people..worrying about perfection and if my hair looks good or im wearing the right thing to the right place. i dont think i have a ''lock'' on how i look though because i change how i look all the time. im never satisfied with myself and the worse i get, the more i am dissatisfied. this weeks topic is my monster...
Hey Julie-ahhh like the devo said, how do you feel God sees ya? what is your monster? Are ya saying that the more you aren't satisfied with hte outside the more unhappy you are with the inside?
Maybe that's it, Julia. I know that I wear things differently alot. Sometimes, I feel selfconcious about it when other girls stare at me, but a little voice inside my head says,
' God loves you, focus on what He thinks of you.' and the negativity goes away. So, I think if you concentrate more on whats on the inside than the outside, and you fix up the inside, you will find your true self.
This is a much needed post. Great job. Did this by any chance sprout from last nights youth group lesson? Lol(:
well, my monster is my biggest problem wich would be what i just talked about. and im unhappy with the inside and the outside. because i focus so much on the outside, i ruin the inside.
so how do we fix this "ruin the inside" thing. I am sure alot of us teens feel that way. I am trying to really be in God's word and remember that He loves me for me..even if no one else does. It is scary to be the odd one..but in the end, I won't be standing in front of "them" accounting for my life here...I will be standing in front of my Savior...ya know?
Nice JJ! I try to be in God's word too. I don't like to be in the crowd, I like to stand out. I always tell people, ' I'm different and I like different.' Jesus doesn't want us to all act the same and dress the same and stuff. He gave us different personalities for a reason. And if you think about, Jesus was different. Not just be cause he was powerful, but he hung out with the sinners while everyone else wanted to be with the "righteous" people.
I agree, Shelby. Do you think you be different makes people want to get to know you or keeps them away. I want to be able to share Christ with people...and I am afraid my being differnt sometimes keeps them away...do they do that with you?
Um...yes. Sometimes they do stay away, like the kids who think they are too cool or whatever. But then there are kids who like that. I have a friend who tells her other friends about me and they want to meet me. Sometimes I wish I was like the other kids. Maybe I wouldn't feel so left out, but if I was like them, I wouldn't be true to me. And I wouldn't show that I don't care what others think, I care what God thinks. If you share Christ and you're being different, I think that they will notice that you don't care what others think. That you're comfortable in your own skin. And that might draw them closer and want to know why you are so comfortable.
