|
The dictionary defines self worth as: the sense of ones own value or worth as a person; self-esteem; self-respect. Self esteem means: a person's respect for himself/herself self respect means: proper esteem or regard for the dignity of ones character nobody but God can give you this confidence.....STOP looking for your husband or your wife, or your children, or friends, or even your sisters and brothers in the church to make you feel you have self worth. I am here to tell you you do. Your self worth is not being a size 2, your self worth does not come from you allowing yourself to be a man pleaser, your self worth does not come from the response people give you, your self worth does not come from what people think about you, your self worth does not come because you have money, look good, etc. Your self worth comes from within, knowing who you are in God, your self worth comes from taking the time to know that had it not been for God you would not have made it this far. So many people are looking for someone to make them feel worthy, but I tell you friend you will have a very lonely and disappointing road ahead of you, if you continue to look to man and not God. The word of God says; looketh to the hills which cometh your help". God is restoring His people and telling them that they are beautiful. You are the apple of His eyes, He does have all your tears in a bottle, God has heard your cry and He knows all about it, and He is there to comfort you.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
My self worth comes from knowing my past does not determine my future, and that God's mercy and grace has been granted upon me and my end will be greater than my beginning. I have purpose in my heart to serve God all the days of my life. I will respect my body as the temple that God has given to have. (Not just by food going in, but also by who I allow to speak into my life) I have self worth because my testimony is my story that no matter what the enemy has tried to throw my way, no matter what I have been through in my life, I will not allow it to break me. I know that I was bought with a price and as long as I have Jesus..........I have my self worth
