I recently heard a testimony from a woman who suffered from a low self-esteem. Someone had made the comment that ‘If you have a negative opinion on yourself, you are offending your Creator’. I am very glad this person got strength and comfort out of this sentence, because I fear it could have been very different. It could have caused another layer of guilt on top of the low self-esteem.

The world today tries the oddest things in order to feel better – to fit better in your own skin as a Dutch expression says. Recently I came across a little video. It is in German, but the lyrics to the song are something like this: ‘Every cell of my body is happy. Every body cell is feeling good. Every cell in it’s own place, every cell is in a very good mood.’
