Ever thought about how you define your self worth?
So often we consider our self worth based upon the material items, the amount in the bank, or position in a company. The danger with these type of thoughts are: material items will wear out, bank accounts can disappear, and a job is just that; a job.
Nothing we have obtained in life was from our own doing. Os Hillman’s restated what we sometimes forget, “Scriptures tell us there is only one measure for our self worth. Each of us has self worth because we are made in the image of God. And because we are made in the image of God, we are valuable. …You are never more valuable to God than you were the day you were born….”
“For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your Works, And my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139: 13-14
Once we understand the source of our self-worth our journey really begins because we have a purpose! Paul instructed the Philippians to learn and grow in Christian faith so that we can worship Christ with our hearts, grow like Him in character, and to teach others in our world of His glory and mercy.
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men.” Philippians 4: 4-6
