Many people tend to judge themselves as how they were treated in the past. Perhaps they still are allowing people to treat them as worthless. Why? We are all worthy, beautiful, and gifted in something. Yes, some people are talented in many things, maybe they have great self discipline. Maybe they were raised in a family that helped them focus on them talents they have. Everybody is here for a purpose, they just need to pray about what God's plan is and they will soon be on their way to succeeding.
If your parents were really hard on you and maybe still are just pray that you want to see what God sees in them. This will help you look past all the negative things they may had done to you or said to you although, it may be very difficult. Just keep praying about this. If you meditate on all the negative things all of the time you will be acting bitter, edgy and negative. People will be able to see through you, and the words you speak will show what's in your heart. Don't allow people's bad spirits to get inside of you. Them bad spirits are the enemy, not God.
My point is that no matter how low you may feel, how sad, or worthless, you need to realize that those feelings are not real. They may feel real but they are not the truth. The truth is you are a child of God and you are worthy! You are gifted and need to start lifting your head up high and stop listening to any negatives thoughts that may pop in your head. When a negative thought pops in your head try speaking out loud that you are worthy, you are beautiful, you are a child of God! You are worthy!
Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 21:2 (AMP)
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs and tries the hearts [Proverbs 24:12, Luke 16:15]
1 Samuel 12:24 (KJV)
Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

Don't Let Others Bring You Down!
When we are changing ourselves for the better, there will always be someone or maybe even a whole group of people that want to bring you down to where they are. They may be uncomfortable with how well you are doing, they could be jealous and bitter toward you. They may want to try to ruin what you have achieved. They may speak about your past all of the time in hopes that you will want to go backward and be who you were before. They will most likely gossip about you to others because they are jealous.
For myself as I become more hungry each day for God's Word and am growing in my Faith it seems that some family members are getting angry that I am changing along with my husband. We are becoming stronger in our marriage while others are trying to ruin what we are building at the same time. I understand it is the enemy and in the past we have allowed the enemy in. This time and from now on, we choose God. God is our #1 ! Going back to how things were before wouldn't be the right thing to do just because that's what "man" wants. We are way better off doing what God wants us to do and keep moving forward.
The people that have difficulty with the people that are making positive changes in their life are the people that may have a serious problem on the inside and should stop worrying about others' lives and worry about their own. Perhaps they need to focus on their own life for awhile to better seek what the real issue is. Instead of trying to reason with these people it's best just to distance yourself from them for a bit. Pray for these people. There's no reason to try to explain why you are trying to change yourself because you don't need to explain to anybody on this Earth at all. If you are changing because you finally found the Lord then that is awesome! That is a great thing!
2 Timothy 3:12 (NLT)
Yes, and everyone who wants to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
John 15:18 (NLT) Jesus says,
"If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.
1 Peter 3:17 (NLT)
Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong.
Proverbs 1:7 (NLT)
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Get Involved!
Getting involved in the church is important to help your church function better; it's rewarding because you are helping others grow in their faith and it will help you grow as well! It's great for people that find it difficult to socialize or make friends. You will begin to naturally make friends with people. You will feel great each time you are volunteering. You are helping people. Helping people is so rewarding in itself. Being involved is setting a good example for the little ones in your family.
Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
If you want to get involved with things outside of the church that is great also! You can start by helping out at a homeless shelter, children's services, teen groups, food banks, or something else that maybe your heart is calling you to do. There is so many places out there that need volunteers, you just have to get out there and search. You will be happy when you start volunteering . When we do things God's way we start to build better character for ourselves and will be the light in many people's lives. We may sow seeds without even realizing it!

Don't Look Back-Move Forward
As I looked at all my posts I noticed that "Don't Look Back" had many views, and was my most popular. I totally understand why this is. Many of us have trouble moving forward from our past or we hold onto things from the past that had really hurt us. The thing is if we are constantly thinking about something or someone that hurt us in the past how are we ever going to have a happy, peaceful life? You can't. You can't live a happy life when you are stuck in the past. If you did something awful, shameful or something you shouldn't had did in the past, you have now accepted The Holy Spirit in your heart, you repented and asked for forgiveness, you are forgiven. It is time to move forward from the old you and keep becoming the new you. You are a work in progress. You have to practice a new way of thinking everyday. You have to do new things now to become that NEW person. You are a child of God. You work for God. You are valuable, beautiful, unique and are here for a purpose. If somebody told you were stupid, ugly, useless, or anything along them lines, they are wrong! Their opinion should mean nothing to you. You should not care about anybody's opinions on this Earth.
Some people choose to stay where they are at in life regardless of how angry, depressed or anxious they may be. That is their choice. Nothing will ever get better for them if they are choosing to live that way. They can be happy if they want to be. When we are trying to be obedient to God we need to make changes to have a better life. We do not need to keep bringing up the past. If we have people in our life that likes to always bring up the past we need to let them know that old person died and you are now a new person. If they can't accept that you are changing yourself for the better then the best thing to do for now would be to distance yourself from them and pray for them. It is not your issue that they can not accept your decision, it's their issue. Change is hard; some people find it difficult to accept a loved one when they are changing themselves even though it is a good thing that they are changing. It's uncomfortable to change at first and can be uncomfortable when someone close is changing. But sometimes it's a good thing to be uncomfortable.
My point in this post is if you want to be a better person now then be it! Stop allowing people to bring you back to the past. Hang out with new people if you want to change. Surround yourself with positive people that will only encourage you, not discourage you. Stop talking about the past and only talk about today. Don't look back, move forward!
Romans 12:2 (Amplified)
Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs] but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
Colossians 3:2 (Amplified)
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
