WORTHINESS

There are approximately 100 verses in the Bible that talk about self-worth.

Why do you think this is?  Why do you think God felt is so necessary to remind us that we are worthy?

This is an area that is very touchy with me. For many years, I was very self confident and knew what I believed.
"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything."
I was convicted by the Holy Spirit and KNEW where God was leading me.

Then, a few years later, I realize I had let someone take that confidence from me. My self worth had plummeted to zero and I didn't have a reason to live.
Until I looked into the face of my beautiful daughter, then I KNEW God had sent her as a gift to me. His way of saying, "I trust you. I love you" and  I knew I would not let Him down. I would be the best Mom I could be.
But, I still did not feel worthy of God's love or attention. How could I pray to Him when  I didn't think he would even take time to listen?

But, here's the truth about that, not only DID God listen, He heard me. He rescued me. He gave me strength and courage.  He made me realize that my lack of self worth came form Satan. The person I let take it was just a vehicle to get Satan's job finished. The reason God felt it necessary to remind us over 100 times that we are fearfully and wonderfully made is because Satan loves to take jabs at our self-esteem. Satan knows it is an easy target and that we let him tear down that wall easily.

I will never let someone make me feel unworthy again and will tell anyone who will listen that they are worthy.  God doesn't make trash, he makes great works of art. He gave you a big heart for a reason, he gave you life, for a reason.

Today, focus on the blessings that have been given to you but more than that, I pray you focus on how worthy you are. How special you are. How amazing you are!
