Self Esteem Intro Lyrics

Welcome to In My Weakness, the album

Thank you for tuning in

Today, I just want to talk about self-esteem

It's something the world spins differently than what the Bible says

If somebody battles with low self-esteem

And you go up to a friend and they ask for advice

The first advice they're going to say is to love yourself more

You know, like don't view yourself so lowly

Stop hurting yourself, forgive yourself, love yourself

And if somebody is fighting with high self-esteem

Somebody might say, hey, humble yourself, man

You're too about yourself, man. You're so self-absorbed

And they tell you to get lower

So one's telling the low person to go high

And the other is telling the high person to go low

But do you see something wrong with both

Both are focused on self

And that's the main issue

Now, I want to tell you about something else

There's another scale that's not just revolving around self

It's actually about God

I know, I know. Sometimes when we hear something

We jump from one extreme to the other

Thinking that the other extreme is going to do it justice, right

But it doesn't. It falls short

Now, hear me out. You got this desire in you

To be loved, to be accepted, to be approved

To be something great

And I get it

Loving yourself seems like the answer sometimes

Accepting your own self seems like the answer

Being great would just make sense, right

But that desire wasn't built there for that reason

That desire was actually put in there

So that you could seek the love of God

So that you could seek the acceptance of God

So that you could seek the approval of God

Now look, there's no good deed that you could ever do in your life

To ever save yourself, to ever be able to be holy on your own

To be righteous, to be perfect

We will never meet that scale and it was never meant to

So if you're battling with low self-esteem or high self-esteem

I'm going to tell you right now, the cure is not the opposite

The cure is Jesus Christ, man

Whatever you think of yourself, whatever you see in that mirror that you hate

Trust me, God can make you something new

We were meant to be a new creation

We were meant to be loved by the God

That's why we desire that because we are loved by the God of this universe

We're loved by Jesus Christ, man. He died for you

Whether high or low, stop focusing on yourself
