Self-esteem issue is not just for teen girls. It’s for middle-age males, too! I thought by now, I’d be completely over my low self-esteem problems. As a teenager, having moved to this country and being new and unable to speak the language, I was alone much of the time. I always felt I was different […]
Psalm 44:8-9,17 8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah 9 But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies. 17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.
