There are reasons you may doubt yourself, feel inadequate or worthless. Feelings of inadequacy are a pervasive issue in today’s society.
So what can you do?
Psychologists and modern thought says that worth comes from within, it is simply your own sense of value, confidence or satisfaction about yourself.
That’s not what God says.
God says your worth is not limited to your thoughts about yourself, your confidence or satisfaction with yourself.
God says that your worth comes from being his daughter, his son. You were born worthy. God says you are precious to him. You are loved. And He created you to be amazing and do awesome things with your life.
Don’t get stuck trying to find value in your “self.” Believer, your life has been united with Christ’s. Your Life is not your own. It’s so much more!
