Worth It

Let me ask you a question. Do you feel worthy? Right here. Right now. Do you feel worthy?

I’ll be honest, I’ve been struggling with this the last few months. Whether it’s something as small as not feeling like I’m doing good enough at work or something as big as not feeling worthy of God’s love, self worth has been a daily battle of mine.

Exactly one year ago today, I wrote a post about worth. Man, did I think I had it all figured out. But the months went by and life hit me like a train, my worth was diminished. The truth of it is, we can sit here and talk about worth all we want. But truly feeling it is a completely different thing.

What I had to realize was that my worth today is the same as the day God breathed life into me. God has loved me from my first breath. Despite my struggles, despite my sin, despite my failures, my worth has never changed. My worth is not found in my skills or potential, what’s on my resume, or what people say about me. Instead, my worth is found in Jesus. My worth was proven when He laid His life out for me. My worth is found in what He sees in me, the plans He has over my life, and what He says about me.

So let me ask you again, do you feel worthy? Right here. Right now. All things set aside. Do you feel worthy?

No matter what you answer, I challenge you to declare your worth over your life today.

I AM seen.

I AM heard.

I AM capable.

I AM strong.

I AM deserving.

I AM enough.

I AM important.

I AM worthy.

I want to encourage you to not only accept these promises over yourself, but share them. Tell someone that they are worthy today.
