Over the past month I have been asking people what does your worth mean to you! After so many beautiful answers I am here to share my take on worth with you!
Tears stream down my face. Slowly at first almost like you don’t want anyone to see. Then they come all at once you can’t hide them. No matter how hard you try. The glasses you throw on you face can’t cover the tear drop stains coming off your chin and onto your shirt. Day after day that was me overwhelmed with the feeling of being worthless. Maybe at some point in your life you have felt that on your own you are worthless. Let me tell you that you are right. I have learned over the years I am Worthless.
I thought I knew what my worth was. I thought growing up it had to do with how much playing time I got in soccer was, or who I was dating at that point and time. Then I thought it had to do with how well
my grades were, what clothes I wore, how I wore my makeup, my hairstyle, even what phone I had. The list could go on forever. My worth was based on how I saw myself and how I wanted the world to see me.
Day after day I grew negative. I was realizing the truth. I ran from relationships, got furious when playing time changed for soccer, when grades would not be high enough because I felt inadequate. I never felt like I was enough for people, kind enough, beautiful enough, or good enough. I felt worthless until God. It is true I am worthless on my own. Just the same for you. Without God I am nothing. There is no hiding the fact that because of God I am Worth more than anything on earth.
You see those eyes filled with tears I cried before I knew God changed to eyes of joy when I met Him because I finally realized the list above gave me no value. My worth comes from my Heavenly Father sending his only son to die for me and you so we can be with him.
Without God I never felt like I was good enough but because of Him I know that I am a beautiful daughter of Christ that deserves to be treated as such. I know I am worth the best of everything because of who I belong to!
