Everyone gets depressed. Down in the dumps. Just plain sad. When this happens, you start to pick at yourself. Pointing out every flaw, every mistake, every insecurity until you feel completely worthless. We don't want to feel that way, but we are our own worst critics. We know what hurts and what is a sensitive subject, so it's easy to bully ourselves until we feel like we are scrapping the bottom of the barrel. But, God knows you and your heart. He knows what makes you happy and knows the beauty of your soul. These 25 songs may not get you to love yourself just yet, but they will help you see that somebody loves you.

So, whatever you are hurting yourself over, God will be there waiting to clean up your wounds. The world's most beautiful gifts weren't made in a day. Your confidence won't either. But, by walking hand and hand with God, you will realize that you are perfect in the eyes of the One who matters most.
