The most important step is you must realize that God approves of you.
The first step in learning to like yourself is:
- Realize that God approves of you
The most important step is you must realize that God approves of you. In the book of Jeremiah God speaks to him and says; Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations (Jeremiah 1:5). In this scripture, we read that God placed his stamp of approval on Jeremiah, even before conception. This is the same for you. You may not be chosen as prophet to the nations. However, you are His chosen instrument for a good work. God created you with His own hands, you are His masterpiece. (See Ephesians 2:10) You are important to Him. Therefore, you must not treat yourself as an inferior work.
Take some time to meditate on this step and put it into action in your life. Check back soon for the next step!

Never compare yourself with another person. Each of you has something that makes you special.

Do not be afraid to step out on faith and try something new. Once you discover your strengths, perfect those gifts.

How often have you heard this statement; "JUST BE YOURSELF"? The unfortunate reality is you can't be yourself, until you know yourself.
