IMAGE OF SELF
GUIDING STATEMENTS
ONLY GOD CAN FULLY APPREHEND THE IMMEASURABLE WORTH OF EVERY PERSON.
MY WORTH IS NOT DETERMINED BY WHAT I DO OR HAVE DONE, WHAT I HAVE OR DON'T HAVE, MY APPEARANCE OR WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF ME.
MY WORTH AS A HUMAN BEING IS FOUNDED ON THE REALITY THAT I HAVE BEEN CREATED, UNLIKE ANY OTHER LIVING THING, "IN THE IMAGE OF GOD."
NO PERSON IS WORTH MORE, AND NO PERSON IS WORTH LESS THAN ANY OTHER PERSON.
WHEN I JUDGE ANOTHER PERSON, I DEVALUE ALL OF HUMANITY INCLUDING MYSELF.
MY IMAGE OF MYSELF AND MY WORTH AS A PERSON MAY NOT BE THE SAME.
HOW I PERCEIVE OR IMAGINE MYSELF WILL AFFECT EVERYTHING I DO.
GOD LONGS FOR ME TO EXPERIENCE ABUNDANCE. HOWEVER, I AM OFTEN DECEIVED INTO BELIEVING AND BEHAVING IN WAYS THAT PREVENT THIS GOODNESS.
THE TRUEST THING ABOUT ME IS THAT I AM GOD'S BELOVED.
I am finding that laws I once followed out of obedience, have become disciplines, and that some disciplines have become practices.
My spiritual activities, (laws, disciplines, and practices), work to improve my spirituality, my spiritual health, and my relationship with Jesus.
I tend to look for others who have similar spiritual activities as I do when I choose my church.
As I grow in my relationship with Jesus, I find that I appreciate those who have different spiritual activities than I do.
As I grow in my relationship with Jesus, I find that experiencing Him is as essential as learning about Him.
I have found that some of my spiritual activities have changed as my relationship with Jesus has developed.
I have found that making a plan for my spiritual life can be helpful.
The most important part of my spiritual health plan is noticing my desires.
Spirit is the member of the Trinity who is most active in my spirituality.
As I grow in my relationship with Jesus, I am finding that many of my spiritual activities are private.
As I grow in my relationship with Jesus, I find that my attention is less on my activities and more on Him.
