Many of us had great parents who did their best but we all have some people in our lives who are not giving us their approval. They do not acknowledge our gifts. They do not see what we have to offer. Do not live frustrated, thinking there is something wrong with you, trying to convince them to affirm you. Let it go. There is nothing wrong with you, Maker, If you had to have their approval, they would give it. Since you do not, shake it off. Your value does not come from people. It comes from your Creator.
Sometimes we do not realize who we are. You may feel average, ordinary, as though noting stands out, but because of your Maker, there is something about you that makes you extremely valuable. You are not a copy. You are not a knockoff. You are an original. The Creator of the universe in your manufactured. You cannot get any more prestigious than that. But if you do not know who you are, like I did not know the watch’s maker, you will discount yourself thinking. Oh man, I am just ordinary, I have nothing much to offer, there is nothing special about me. You need to Google your manufacturer. You have the fingerprints of God all over you.
If you are going to recognize your value, you have to see yourself as amazing, as wonderful. It is not because of who you are, but because of who you are, but because of Who make you. Life will try to make you feel as though you are anything but amazing. Disappointment, betrayals and rejection will try to steal your sense of value. But all though the day, despite what your thoughts as telling you, despite who left bit out or said something negative about you, you need to remind yourself, I am amazing. I am a masterpiece. I have been wonderfully made. Do not discount what God has created. Do not go around feeling ordinary, when in fact you are extraordinary. People may try to make you feel average. They will tell you that you do not have much to offer. Are you going to believe what people say about you or believe what God says about you and move up to the next level? God says, you are amazing. You may feel average and think you look ordinary about you. But because of Who you belong to, that you extremely valuable. Do not let people discourage you. Do not let your own thoughts push you done. Put your shoulders back. You do not have to try to impress people. Just be who you are, knowing who you are going to live free, confidently and securely, knowing you are valuable. You will become the masterpiece that God created you to be.
