holding my self in high regard; serving others

“God wants us to help people and share our time, talents, and money. But I believe God wants us to give from a position of high self-esteem. Acts of kindness are not kind unless we feel good about ourselves, what we are doing, and the person we are doing it for.” – Melody Beattie, Codependent No More
Affirmative prayer: Today, I believe in the integrity of my self, knowing that I am made in the image of pure Spirit. From a reservoir of love and spiritual capital, I serve others. I give of myself and my resources, and believe in the goodness and promise of all. Amen.
