 “He did deliver me from bondage” p. 13, Day 3

2N 31:19 

 “For ye have not come thus far  save it were by the word of Christ and with faith unshaken in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.”

Yes, I have thought that my problem is in consequence of a low self-esteem, but this definition does not clearly discern the problem.  I think a lack of self-esteem, as the world calls it, is a result of not knowing who you are, and not knowing who you are is a lack of knowing God and having the Holy Ghost.  It is a line-upon-line journey of discovery.  I have seen in my journey that the degree to which I know God, then my confidence waxes (grows gradually) before Him.  It is a paradoxical idea to me that I have a “self-esteem” problem and that I do not esteem God highly enough.  It would seem that in both cases there is a lack of belief.  But how could there be a lack of belief if I have come “thus far with faith unshaken”?

I see the drift she is intending guide me in that I am nothing and God is everything.  I think my life has been teaching me that quite articulately during the last couple years.    I pray and wait for deliverance.
