Conscious Dignity
It is the privilege of everyone to so live that God will approve and bless (her).
….It is not the will of your heavenly Father that you should ever be under condemnation and darkness.
It is not pleasing to God that you should demerit yourself.
…While we should not think of ourselves more highly than we ought, the Word of God does not condemn a proper self-respect.
…child of God, we should have a conscious dignity of character, in which pride and self-importance have no part.”
Excerpts from Daughters of God 142, E G White

Your Past Experience
Whatever may have been your past experience, however discouraging your present circumstances, if you will come to Jesus just as you are: weak, helpless, and despairing, our compassionate Savior will meet you a great way off, and will throw about you His arms of love and His robe of righteousness.
Jesus presents us to the Father clothed in the white raiment of His own character. He pleads before God in our behalf, saying: I have taken the sinner’s place. Look not upon this wayward child, but look on Me.

Creator of the Heavens
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God, and all things were created through Him and nothing was made without Him.
By faith we understand that the world was created by the Word of God, so that what is seen was made of things which cannot be seen.
Scoffers deliberately ignore this fact: that by the Word of God the heavens existed long ago. Since earliest times men have seen God's Creation and have known of His existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse for saying, "there is no God".
For in these last days God speaks to us by His Son....through Whom He created the world!
[The Hands that sustain the worlds in space, and holds them in their orderly arrangement, are the Hands that were nailed to the cross!]
Look into the heavens! Who created all these stars and planets? He creates them in number calling each one by its own name. By His great might and strong power not one strays or is lost.
Why do you say that the Lord God does not see your troubles and is not being fair? Don't you know? Haven't you heard?! The everlasting God, the Creator of the Universe, never grows faint or tired. No one can fathom His understanding.
[Remember how He cares for the stars? He loves you even more!]
The above quotes are from these Scriptures: John 1:1-4/ Colossians 1:16/ Hebrews 11:3/ Genesis 2:3/ Nehemiah 9:6/ Psalms 33:8-9; 95:6; 148:3-5/ Acts 17:30-31/ Hebrews 1:2/ Isaiah 40:26-28

My Horse Friends
A major facet in my youth was horses. Our Lutheran church friends from Germany, two elderly brothers Karl and Ernie Wolff, owned Hillside Stables in Omaha, Nebraska. When I was three years old the family went to see the horses and I rode an older mare.
Hillside Stables had many interesting and impressive horses such as:
Golden Centaur - an elegant palomino with arched neck, large dark eyes; white, wavy tail and mane and a high tail carriage.
Pepper - the black, classic Morgan;
two thoroughbreds ridden by seventy-year old twin sisters;
Snow King - a white 30-year old retired circus horse;
Private Eye - a handsome, dark chestnut Saddlebred with green-hazel eyes;
and my champion Appaloosa - Spottum Bottum.
Point of interest: at Hillside Stables, in the 1960’s, feed, hay and board in a box stall with use of tack room and all facilities was one dollar a day; and horse rental was $1.25 an hour!
In Omaha, Hillside was located on a huge property bordered by the Papio Creek on the south and west, by Dodge Street on the north, and by the Interstate on the east. There were 3 large pastures to ride in, and a tree nursery too! It was a true pleasure to be at Hillside!
A Jewish friend, Elisse, owned a beautiful palomino named Golden Banner. Since she was Jewish she kept God’s Ten Commandments including keeping holy Saturday - the seventh-day Sabbath. The Fourth Commandment says that cattle (domestic animals) should not work on Sabbath.
Exodus 20:8-11. So on Sabbath Elisse would only turn Banner out to pasture and then give him a good rub-down; she never rode Banner on the seventh-day Sabbath.

A Good Reputation
Choose a good reputation over great riches, for being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold

Valentine's Day
In high school and college I was very particular as to who I dated. The guy had to show respect for himself; if he had no respect for himself how could he have respect for me?
Respect was very important, as was morality, which included no smoking, drinking, drugs or lewd behavior. (I did not date much, but married a gem of a husband!)
I did not start dating until I was almost seventeen.
And am proud to say I kept my promise made at a young age and was a chaste virgin for my future husband.
We have been married over 40 (forty) consecutive years!

Self-Respect
Many struggle with feelings of self-worth and value in God’s sight.
The Lord has given each one of us a sense of self-respect, and this must not be opposed…. God wants us to respect ourselves.
It is not the will of your heavenly Father that you should ever be under condemnation and darkness. It is not pleasing to God that you should demerit yourself. …
While we should not think of ourselves more highly than we ought, Holy Scripture does not condemn a proper self-respect. …child of God, we should have a conscious dignity of character, in which pride and self-importance have no part.”
Daughters of God p 141-142, Ellen G White
