In Self-Esteem Looking Up Instead of Looking Inside experienced counselor and author Leslie Vernick shares that the answer to healing a negative self-image and low self-esteem is not in gaining more popularity, having more possessions, securing more power, or in achieving perfection. A healthy sense of self doesn’t happen by focusing on self at all. Instead a healthy self-image combines the security of knowing God’s love with the humility that comes from knowing ourselves and how much we need Christ.
