Your Value God knows it

Steve, a young man who had suffered severe rejection a Child. Steve’s parents continually beat him down verbally, telling him that he was never going to make it in life the he had never amount to anything. Day after day, those destructive words pounded into his thoughts and his subconscious mind, destroying his self-image and his sense of value. Steve told me later how he discovered the root cause of the problems was the fact that his parents had hoped for a baby girl. They had been sorely disappointed when he was born. Seventeen years later, he was still living with tremendous guilt and shame. And for what? Sadly, Steve was convinced that he was to blame for all the heartache in his family that he was the reason his parents were so unhappy that he had done something wrong that his life was one horrible mistake.

Steve, you cannot allow your self- esteem and your sense of value to be determined by how other people treat you. God accepts us even if everybody else in this world reject you.

Maybe you live or work with somebody who is emotionally abusive, always putting you down and criticizing you, telling you what terrible person you are. Let that misinformation go in one ear and out the other. Constantly remind yourself that you are made in the image of Almighty God. Remind yourself that He has crowned you with glory and honor that you are God’s own masterpiece. Do not let other people play games with r mind, deceiving you into thinking that your value has diminished.

Your great aspirations have been dashed by the choices you have made or the choices imposed on you by others. You may feel that you are trapped in a rut but there is hope. God wants to restore your sense of value. God has lifted me out of the horrible pit and He set my feet upon a rock and He wants to fill with hope. He wants you to know that He loves you more than you can imagine and He can turn your dashed dreams into something beautiful.

God knows your value. He sees your potential, you may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head up high, knowing that God is in control and He has a great plan and purpose for your life. Your drams may not have turned out exactly as you had helped but God’s ways are better and higher than our ways. Even when everybody else rejects you, remember, God stands before you with His arms open wide. He always accepts you. He always confirms your value. God sees your good moves. You are His prized possession. No matter what you go through in life, not matter how many disappointments you suffer, you vale in God’s eyes always reminds the same. You will always be the apple of His eye. He will never give up on you, so do not give up on yourself.
