“For as he thinks within himself, so he is.” (Proverbs 23:7) “Self-esteem is a term used in psychology to reflect a person’s overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own worth” (Wikipedia).

What kind of decisions are you making in your life? The decisions you have made in the past affect who you are today along with influencing your family & friends for good or bad. We can’t change what we have done but we can learn from the failures of men and women in the Bible and apply it to our lives (Romans 15:4). Even the godliest men and women made bad choices and God doesn’t cover it up but has left it for our admonition (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Let us examine and learn from some life changing decisions realizing we will all have to give account unto God (2 Cor. 13:5; 5:10).

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 14:6) “Sanctify them through Thy truth, Thy word is truth” (John 17:17) Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32)

But what is truth? (John 18:36) Is it objective or subjective?
