Identity

I wrote this in a journal the other day and I really didn’t think much of it then but I’m considering reading this back to myself throughout the week because I forget so easily.

my worth is not in how i look.

my worth is not in who my friends are.

my worth is not in what i do.

my worth is not in how i feel.

my worth is not in the books i read, the movies i watch, or the fun times i experience.

my worth is not in a successful career or the money i make.

my worth is not in what people think of me or how i make them feel.

my worth is not in church attendance, bible reading or ministry involvement.

my worth is not in how spiritual people perceive me.

my worth is not in a degree or the knowledge that i attain.

my worth is in Jesus Christ. i am created in God’s image. i have the Son and i have life.

chosen and loved by God. valued and owned by Him.

designed for a reason and a purpose. my life has meaning and direction.

I also found this awesome Psalm yesterday:

“The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not abandon the works of your hands.”- Psalm 138:8
