Self-esteem is a fragile thing, especially when we don’t base it on what God’s Word says about us. In the past, I based my self-worth on what I did (or didn’t) accomplish or what others thought of me. My relentless need to be loved and accepted drove me to unhealthy relationships, which left emotional scars.

Do we affirm it? What’s the right relationship to have with the mess in the world?That’s the question that leads to the series of parables in Luke 15.At the beginning of the chapter, Jesus is having a meal.

What came to my spirit as I pondered this dream was a strategy of the enemy to convince a generation that they can’t trust “The Church.” Leaders have betrayed them. Teachers have led them astray.

What may have started as disappointments in a few has led to a corporate disillusionment. An offense against the entire system.
