The Only Way To Understand Your Value

Do you ever think about how valuable you are?  Maybe you already know that. Maybe you have parents or siblings or friends or even a spouse who lets you know that on a daily basis.  Or maybe you don’t.

Whether or not someone tells you is not the case here though. It’s whether or not you know for sure that you’re precious and valuable.

Get this. You’re not valuable because someone says you are, you’re not valuable because of the amazing things you do at work or the selfless sacrifices you make for your loved ones. It’s not about your contributions to society either.

You’re valuable because GOD MADE YOU IN HIS IMAGE AND HE BROUGHT YOU TO HIMSELF THROUGH THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF HIS SON JESUS.

it’s as simple as that.  See I used to suffer from bouts of low self esteem and I used to believe I could only find a sense of self worth in what I do for God and for people and how relevant I am.  But God showed me through his word that HE IS MY RELEVANCE.

Read Romans 12: 3(MSG)  he says the only way to understand ourselves is by what God is and what he does for us. So I focus not on me, but on him. On his awesomeness and how he unconditionally loves me.

When you think about how big this God is, and how he is personally interested in your well-being, then you are transformed. You square your shoulders and chin up because you now know that your worth isn’t about what you do, where you were born and who you are.  Really.  You find your worth in who your God is. And he is super big. He’s the maker of heaven and earth and everything in between. That is what inspires your worship.

He is God and he finds you valuable.
