Do you like who you are? When you look in the mirror do you like what you see? Or do you wish you were a little taller, or a little stronger, or a bit thinner? When you think about you, do you like yourself or do you struggle with feelings of inferiority? Chip shares three keys to developing a positive, healthy self-image.

Distorted mirrors destroy our lives:

• The Appearance Mirror
• The Performance Mirror
• The Status Mirror

Thesis – Until we see ourselves as God sees us, we are destined to FEEL INFERIOR.

3 keys to a Biblical self-image:

1. Get God’s View of You = KNOWLEDGE

You are significant because:

• You're UNIQUE -Gen 1:27, Ps 139:13-14
• You're LOVED -1 Sam 16:7, Jer 31:3
• You're VALUABLE -1 Cor 6:19-20
• You're SECURE -Eph 1:13
• You're INDISPENSIBLE -Eph 2:10, 4:15-16

2. Believe God’s View is True = FAITH

• Faith is built on God’s Word -Rom 10:17
• Faith grows through mind renewal -Rom 12:2
• Develop a plan to remove the distorted mirrors of the world with the mirror of God’s Word -Jam 1:22-24

3. Discover the “You” that’s True = EXPERIENCE

• Unwrap your SPIRITUAL GIFTS -1 Cor 12, Rom 12
• Unleash your SPIRITUAL PASSION -Ps 37:4
• Use your God-given TALENTS -Ex 31:3
• Embrace your God-given PERSONALITY -1 Cor 2:11
• Leverage your past EXPERIENCE -Rom 8:28

Ministry is how God makes what’s true “of” us, true “in” us. Sometimes it’s only in the act of “loving others: that we can fathom that we ourselves are loved!

There is a place that God created where you can experience authentic love like nowhere else on earth. It’s a place where loneliness is not welcome, and meaningful relationships abound. A community where people can be re-connected to their family. Sound like a place you want to go to? Join Chip and find out where this special place is.

Until loneliness is understood, it overwhelms

• Loneliness is MORE than being alone.
• Loneliness WEARS many masks.
• Loneliness is not a unique malady, but a UNIVERSAL REALITY.

*Resource: Changes that Heal by Henry Cloud

You don’t have to be lonely, because:

• God CARES about your loneliness. -Gen 2:18
• Jesus UNDERSTANDS your loneliness. -Mark 15:34
• Jesus INVITES you into a relationship with Him. -Matt 11:28-30; Rev 3:20
• A relationship with Jesus means you ALWAYS belong to His family. -Rom 12:5; 1 Jn 1:1-4

How can you experience authentic love and connection in God’s family?

• By rethinking your view of the CHURCH.
• By revising your approach to RELATIONSHIPS.

1. Realize your NEED.
2. Move toward OTHERS.
3. Be VULNERABLE.
4. Challenge distorted THINKING.
5. Take RISKS.
6. Be EMPATHETIC -- listen, listen, listen!
7. Trust GOD -- pray, pray, pray!

Summary: To “lick loneliness,” you gotta BELONG!

• Informal steps + formal strategies = A “connected” community of love.
