16 Positive affirmations for personal reassurance
Sometimes it’s very important for us to be constantly reminded of who we are in Christ – not what the world thinks or says we are, not what the unregenerated mind of any friend thinks we are, not what our parents think or want us to be, not what the national economy has restructured people to be nor who we think we are and certainly not what the devil or the kingdom of darkness says we are but who GOD thinks we are!
If you ever struggle with feelings of under-achievement, low self-esteem, anxiety, sadness, etc, let these positive affirmations remind you of how precious you are, especially to God.
