Too often we measure our self-worth by how many “points” we are putting up on a scoreboard. But self-worth is a gift, not a game. In this post I draw on some wisdom from Henri Nouwen.

Henri Nouwen takes a radical look at both hospitality and forgiveness. If you have nothing, you are free to give and forgive everything. A reflection from his book, Show Me The Way.

There are two kinds of guilt: one that leads you to God and one that leads you away. Henri Nouwen takes a look at a guilt that leads you away from God. A reflection on his book, Show Me The Way.

In this final Advent reflection on the weakness of God I look at thoughts from Henri Nouwen on self-worth.

Some people are easily offended. Maybe that’s you. Henri Nouwen speaks to this condition and points to a better way.

How well do you handle silence? We often judge our worth by how active we are. But that activity can be destructive to some degree. Henry Nouwen helps us to see the value in silence.

If you struggle with low self-worth, you might be your own worst enemy. Henri Nouwen says that our low self-worth makes enemies of friends. How can we undo this?
