Cultivate respect for yourself because you are Christ’s purchased possession.
Success in the formation of right habits, advancement in that which is noble and just, will give you an influence that all will appreciate and value.
Live for something besides self.
…Do good, if you would be cherished in the memory of others. Live to be a blessing to all with whom you come in contact….
Daughters of God 143 E G White

YOU MAY REGAIN YOUR SELF RESPECT
Jesus loves you…His great heart of infinite tenderness yearns over you. …You may regain your self-respect. You may stand where you regard yourself, not as a failure, but as a conqueror, in and through the uplifting influence of the Spirit of God. Take hold of the hand of Christ, and do not let it go.

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

Self-worth, Self-Respect
Many struggle with feelings of self-worth and value.
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.

GOD DOESN'T USE FORCE
God is so powerful that He could force us to love Him, but
God doesn’t use force, because He loves us and wants us to love Him back.
Even if you hate God – He still loves you.
Bad things happen to good people – it’s because of sin,
not because God hates you. God loves everyone. The devil hates everyone.
You don’t believe in God? He believes in you!
Trust yourself to God – He will care for you.
God planned for you before the world began. He longs for you to talk to Him about everything that is on your mind. God always listens.
I go to Him with all my problems and He always looks after me. As a small child I learned these things – it made all the difference in my life.
Often your mind may be
Clouded because of pain.
Then do not try to think.
You know that Jesus loves you!
He understands you.
You may do His will by simply
Resting in His arms.
Jesus determined, (in council with His Father), to do everything possible - no matter the cost - to rescue sinners. Jesus loves you more than He values His own life – He died for you!

Problems of Marriage
Satan hates marriage - this is no surprise. He is behind all marriage problems!
Satan causes strife, arguments, anger, adultery, jealousy, bitterness, envy, sexual sin, and a slew of other problems - especially those dealing with the emotions.
There is a war going on! Between Satan and his minions, and God and His holy angels. Between the devil and Gods people. [See this Blog site dated June 13, 2015 - No Mimic Battle].
Stay true to Jesus, ask His Holy Spirit for help and discernment. Focus on Jesus love for you.
Stay true to God and your spouse. Honor your marriage.
If there is violence, seek shelter, get help.

Religious Liberty in Public School
Public elementary school, District 66 in Omaha, Nebraska, had many memorable, spiritual moments!
In sixth grade we discussed the Biblical Flood, the long lives of pre-Flood people, why Pilgrim women did not wear make-up, and how our weekdays received their names from paganism.
In grades 1 through 12 our class sang songs based on the Old Testament and this in Public School!
However, when I checked out a Bible from the school library the principal promptly reprimanded me, saying Bible reading was for the home!
In sixth grade all the students explained different aspects of their religion (Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Atheist). From these discussions the varied backgrounds understood each other better. We were taught everyone has the right to believe as they wish despite anyone's opinion to the contrary.
We were taught to believe in religious freedom, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble peacefully, and liberty of conscience.

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!

The Christian Life
While the Christian's life will be characterized by humility, it should not be marked with sadness and self-depreciation.
...It is not the will of our heavenly Father that we should be ever under condemnation and darkness.
There is no evidence in true humility in going with the head bowed down and the heart filled with thoughts of self.
We may go to Jesus and be cleansed, and stand before the law without shame and remorse.
"There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1
From The Great Controversy p 477, E G White
