Working with girls for a while, there are a lot of things that I see that they struggle with. Luckily, I being a girl myself can always relate. The thing that I notice that all people really struggle with is the idea of Self Worth. I am doing the study Search for Significance with Miss Hayleigh Mack, one of the girls that I mentor. I have probably done this study more than 4 times. I find that it not only lays down Biblical Truth, but common sense about how we should feel about our self.
As I was going over it with Hayleigh, I started to realize something that I have never thought about before. My Self Worth if not found in God, which if I am truthful and if most people were truthful, it is not. Well then our Self Worth is never going to be what it needs to be. Because we seek it from something that is not perfect. So.... to receive true, pure, whole Self Worth we need to seek it from the one who is perfect and can provide perfect Self Worth.
This a part of a Shane and Shane song from their Pages CD... I think that it shows the lie that we believe on a daily basis.
Oh the devil’s singing over me
An age old song
That I am cursed and gone astray
Singing the first verse so conveniently
He’s forgotten the refrain
Jesus saves!
My Challenge to you is to find your Self Worth in the Lord and seek His Wisdom and Knowledge. Also please remember that the Lord loves you despite what we do and that you are valuable to him.
Joy,
Kris
