Too often we base our value on how someone is treating us, how successful we are, how perfect a life we lived. The problem is that all those things can change. If you are trying to get your value from how people treat you, then if they hurt or disappoint you, you are going to feel devalued. If you are basing your value upon your achievements, how much money you make, what type of car you drive, the title behind your name, then if something happens and you do not have that position or our business goes done, your sense of value will go down.
Some people don’t feel good about themselves because they have made mistakes in life. They are not where they thought they would be. Now they are living with insecurities, feeling inferior. They are basing their value on their performance, but here is the key, your value should be based solely on the fact that you are a child of the Most High God. The creator of the universe berthed His life into you. How someone treats you done not change your value. What they day about you or do not your does not lessen who you are. Mistakes you have made does not decrease your value. That is what you did, that is not who you are. You can buy a bigger house, drive a more luxurious car and get the big promotion you have worked so hard for, but that does not make you more valuable. That increases your net worth, not your self -worth. You were just as valuable when you had the small apartment and not tile behind your name. That position may give you more influence, but not more value. If you are a say at home mom raising our children, you might not have the influence of a CEO, but have the same value.
Value is not based on what you do, what your income is, or who you know. Those are all superficial. Those thing can change. Next level thinking says that your value comes from your Creator. God breathes His life into you. You have the DNA of Almighty God. You have royalty in your blood, but the enemy works overtime trying to devalue you. He had love for you to go through life letting what people say about you make you feel inferior, comparing your life to her people’s lives and thinking you will feel good about yourself as soon as you catch up to them. Perhaps when you live in that more affluent neighborhood, when you perform perfectly, when you break the addiction then you will feel valuable.
But nothing you ever do, nothing you ever achieve and nothing you ever overcome will make you any more valuable. You are valuable right now. God calls you a masterpiece. You are none of kind. You did not come off an assembly line. You were not mass-produced. God make you unique. There will never be another you/ Put your shoulders back. Start carrying yourself with confidence. You have been fearfully and wonderfully made.
