I have always loved the eighth chapter of Romans.  When I get to feeling like a worm I go read that chapter.  Do you ever feel like you don't measure up?  Come on, "With God on our side like this, how can we lose?  God put everything on the line for us... Is there anything else He wouldn't gladly do for us?  And who would dare tangle with God  by messing with one of His kids?  Who would dare to point a finger?  The one who died for us--who was raised to life for us....is in the presence of God at this very moment standing up for us.  Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us?  There is no way!  No trouble, nor hard times, not hatred, not hunger, no homelessness, no bullying threats, no back stabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture...none of this fazes us because Jesus loves us.  I am so convinced that nothing--nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable--absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love."  (Romans 8:31-39) TM  

Imagine being loved like that--by God!  Listen my friend, no matter how unworthy you feel, you cannot shut off or in any way diminish the flow of His love toward you.  Nothing can change the way He feels about you.  Nothing can alter the fact that He's going to continue to love you no matter what you do or say.  God's love will heal your emotions, raise your self esteem and put a foundation of self worth and dignity under you.  Go read Romans chapter 8.
