You have more value than you can imagine!

We live in a world where we are bombarded with negative messages.  Consciously or unconsciously these negative messages absorb into our consciousness and begin to toy with our self-images and can lead us down a path of feeling unvalued.

Add to that the pains and hurts we experience within our relationships, which by the way, begin the very moment we enter this world. Whether you come from a solid family with minor dysfunction or an unhealthy family where dysfunction reigns, pains and hurts cannot be avoided because we are all human … we live in a fallen world.

And, as I am sure you are well aware, our friendships can add insult to injury.  It is no wonder so many live their lives with low self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression.

Is that it? Do we just go with the flow and allow all this negativity to invade our personal environments causing us to believe we have no value?

The answer is a big NO!

You have more value than you can imagine! It’s time to ditch the lies and embrace the truth about you.

Think of someone you highly respect, someone you hold in a very high esteem.  What do you think and how does it make you feel when this person notices you and calls you by name?  It’s a sweet sound, isn’t it?

More than that, how does it make you feel when this person remembers your name?  Makes you feel good, doesn’t it?  A kind of “Wow! He remembers me”.  Makes you feel important and, yes, even valued.

“But now, God’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel: ‘Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.  I’ve called your name.  You’re mine.’” Isaiah 43:1 The Message

Do you realize the King of kings, our heavenly Father, calls out our names?  As a child of God, He says that we are His!

What a beautiful thing.  Take the above scripture verse and put your own name in it like:

“But now, God’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Shileen, the One who got you started, Shileen: ‘Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.  I’ve called your name.  You’re mine.’” Isaiah 43:1 The Message

I love that!  The Creator of the universe knows my name, calls it out and tells me that I am his.  It fills my heart with love and joy and peace.

It’s time we stop believing all the lies that we have taken in over the years.  Refuse them.  When you catch yourself going there, just say, “NO!  That is no longer true of me!” and recite Isaiah 43:1. Then allow His love, joy, and peace to fill your soul.

Believe me! You have much more value than you can imagine!

It truly is amazing that Somebody of such high esteem … who is pure high esteem loves and values you and I so much.  It is His love that carries us through the rough points in our life. And it is in and through His love that we find our true value in this life.

God bless you as you journey to discover your truest value.
