Page 81 in Dr. Leman's book under Thursday- "You understand the difference between self-esteem ("feeling good " about yourself) and true self-worth. You're evaluating how you can help your child develop the 3 pillars of self-worth:
1. Acceptance
2. Belonging
3. Competence
You're determined to move from praise (focusing on how "good" a person is) to encouragement (focusing on an action)." End quote.
I think those A,B,C's, are what we need in every home and every church. How many people would love to go to a church where they are not only accepted, but they feel that they belong? How many people would love to go to a church where they not only belong, but their gifts are being used and they are learning to use them well?
Jesus did this with his disciples. He accepted them. They belonged. And He gave them a job to do and trained them how to do it and gave them the Holy Spirit to take His place when He got to go home after His job was completed.
We will need to help each other learn our A,B, C's. Next time, won't you sing with me.
