Finding Your Worth
There are too many times where I have found myself questioning my self worth.
I have been the girl laying in bed after a break up feeling unloved. I have been the girl going through her parents divorce feeling like I could’ve done more. I have been the girl that was falsely accused, feeling like I could do nothing to prove myself worthy.
We spend so much of our time looking to find worth in the wrong places. We tell ourselves we aren’t worth his time. We aren’t worth attention from her. We aren’t worth an invite! Time and time again we are defeated because we spend majority of our days disappointed in imperfect people.
There is only one place to find worth that will not disappoint you. The answer is simple, JESUS. How much easier would it be to feel worth it if we viewed ourself through the lens of the one who created us, who DESIGNED us unlike anyone else in the universe?!
The love of Jesus does not require anything of us. It does not require us to give up our morals, to pretend to be the girl next door. It just requires us to accept it. Cling to the reality that NOTHING can separate us from his love. You are his daughter and his grace covers you when you feel unworthy. He has NOT given up on you and he NEVER will.
“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
Challenge: Cling to this verse. Write it down. Memorize parts of it. Whatever you need to do to remind yourself daily, that you are worth his love, even if you don’t feel like you are.
