We women who follow Jesus have a hard time being really down on ourselves. Sometimes it is because we try to emulate the images that are ceaselessly thrown at us that show us what a 'perfect woman' should look like. Sometimes it is because we have an internal standard that we try to live up to that is actually unrealistic. Sometimes it is because of abuse or trauma in our childhood. Sometimes it is because of our own sinfulness.
Whatever the reason, we need to examine what messages we are absorbing. Examine our own internal messages so that we can deal with them appropriately and with realism. Some of those messages may be partly true, especially when it comes from our own sinfulness, but let us deal biblically with that, instead of beating ourselves up.
This video addresses the negative messages from the world, and gets us thinking in preparation for what is coming ahead.
