A young man who was a former prison inmate convicted of murder came to speak to our church. The biggest message that he was imparting is that young people need to be lifted up. They need to hear positive messages and be in relationships that build up self-esteem and self-worth not tear it down. He had the entire congregation repeat this message:
I am lovable
I am valueable
I am powerful
I am important
So even if someone did not hear this from the people around them, they could tell it to themselves. I found it very powerful.
