do you know your worth?

I’m not gonna lie- I’ve probably written about this before.
You see, I feel like I am on this earth to share 2 messages. 1) That you can be set free from oppression, and 2) That you are valuable. We’ll get on to number 1 another time.
This is just a message that the Lord constantly puts on my heart- probably because it is so easy to forget.
I am a firm believer that we are all here on purpose. I believe that we are meant to be here on this earth- we are needed for a specific plan.
Just like Rapunzel from “Tangled.” She was far away from her kingdom. She was deserted from her parents. But she carried one thing with her. That memory of the lanterns that appeared in the sky every year on her birthday. They were a reminder from her parents that she was the lost princess. That she had value. Even if she didn’t know it yet.
Throughout the story Rapunzel searches to find those lanterns. She is searching to see why they are so valuable. Little does she know its herself that holds the value.
Let me ask you a question. Do you search for your value when can’t see it anymore?
Life can always throw things at us- especially insecurity and this causes us to forget our value. We can get into bad situations because we don’t think we are good enough. Bad relationships, taking medication to numb the pain of how useless we feel, constantly wanting to lose weight because of how obsessed we are with our celebrity idols. Constantly bad mouthing ourselves because we don’t feel good enough. Always isolating ourselves because we think nobody likes us.
These are all real things.
It saddens my heart because there is one man who paid the ultimate price of death to pay for your life. One man who wiped all your sins away so that you could live freely in our world today. One man who gave everything He had- Just for YOU.
If you want to remind yourself of your value- Look to Christ. Cause He adores you 🙂 He did all of that just for you.
Instead of the lanterns in the sky being our sign, the cross is.
Never forget the price that was paid for you. You are one of a kind. You are precious. You are needed. You are unique. You are loved. You are forgiven for everything you have ever done and everything you will ever do. You are VALUABLE.
r o m a n s 5:8- But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
r e f l e c t i o n – q u e s t i o n s
Where do you find your value?
Is there anything in your life that makes you feel not good enough?
Where are you going to find your value from now?
I love you all.
Remember that you are royalty in God’s eyes. Just like Rapunzel found her value in finding out that she was the lost princess- you can know NOW that you are God’s royalty. Grab hold of that opportunity. Stop searching.
