Healthy self-esteem

Be God’s light in the world. Become a TRULY BEAUTIFUL daughter of God.

“…the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” —1 Samuel 16:7 ESV

Your value

“WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP”—As a creation of God, created in His image, you have great worth to God. So much so, that Jesus Christ was willing to pay a great price for you. If we all had price tags attached to us, they would say, “Worth Jesus Christ.” “For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body (1 Corinthians 6:20 ESV). “You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers…with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot” (1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV).

REAL WORTH comes not from personal appearance or wordly values, but from Godly obedience and love. For a follower of Christ, what is LOVE—a feeling, an emotion, or an action? Answer

Be realistic

Be REALISTIC in self-appraisal, always humble, never prideful, but also not overly perfectionist.

Secular Movie Critics
…this movie has laughs from everywhere… I’ve been watching body-positive comedies since the 1996 remake of The Nutty Professor, and I have to say that this one doesn’t do anything particularly new. The core message isn’t expanded or delivered in any innovative way…
Kristian Lin, Fort Worth Weekly
…takes a while to get going, but it eventually finds its groove and proves to be an amusing showcase for Schumer’s talents. …
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
…a mixture of good intentions, a wobbly tone, and a plastic script, and it debuts a somewhat kinder, softer Schumer than the in-your-face comic trainwreck of “Trainwreck” (2015). I’m not sure that’s an improvement. …
Ty Burr, The Boston Globe
…It’s just not funny or fresh enough, and that has everything to do with the material and how it’s handled visually, and nothing to do with the people on the screen. …
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
…veers into cheap and easy enough times to be misinterpreted. When it’s good, though, and when Schumer’s fully locked into her take-no-prisoners charm assault, it’s pretty undeniably delightful stuff. …
Emily Yoshida, New York Magazine
…And I feel underwhelmed… the film veers between inspired and strained and finally settles into the realm of self-improvement pop psychology…
Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
…while it does ultimately deliver life lessons of empowerment coming from within, it also plays on perceptions of Schumer’s appearance for misguided laughs (witness a lengthy erotic dance set-piece) and stirs up a hornets' nest of issues around body shaming, privilege (Schumer is white, affluent, attractive) and beauty ideals that it fails to reconcile within its comedic, almost fairy-tale tone. … [2/5]
Ian Freer, Empire [UK]
…an honest-to-God fiasco. Virtually every single aspect of this rigidly unfunny comedy is botched, from the characters to the plot, the themes to the core message. …
