Your therapist will tell you you have to have self esteem. The road to Jesus tells that we can have no self esteem. The Christian, however, discovers there is something better, Jesus esteem. Jesus has loved His people so much that He went to the cross and suffered for them. He knows that we are worth that. It is not a matter of totting up all our good features, but it is to realize although we are not worth it, in one real sense, yet Jesus loves us so much that He took the full force of the curse of the law upon Himself so that we can be free. That is mindblowingly wonderful if you can take it in. Say "Thank you," now.

Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
