About your worth to God…

Hebrews 10:22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. (NIV)

Each of us can believe we are worth nothing or worth very little. However, this belief is a false belief. Each of us can believe our life has no meaning and no purpose but this belief is also a false belief. To rid ourselves of feeling worthless we must go beyond just saying we feel worthless or just recognizing we feel worthless. To rid ourselves of feelings of worthlessness we must understand the cause of these feelings and understand how to fix our lack of self-worth. Sin in us makes us feel worthless. Sin in us makes us feel we have no value. However, there is a fix for this lack of self-worth and that fix is to see us as God sees us. God always sees past our surface layer of sin. In God's eyes, beneath your surface layer of sin, you are the most remarkable being ever created. In God’s eyes, beneath your surface layer of sin, you are capable of giving love, giving compassion, giving understanding, experiencing joy, and giving in God’s name. God is a being of ultimate truth and God sees your surface layer of sin /selfishness is preventing you from giving love, preventing you from giving compassion, preventing you from giving understanding, preventing you from counting your blessings, and preventing you from rejoicing. The fix for the problem of our lack of self-worth is to deal with the sin issue. The fix for the sin issue is casting off your sin by turning to Christ, confessing your sin, and then surrendering all of who you are to Him. In return, your sin will be washed away and a new person, a new creature , a new being, a new you will be born. Then in God’s eyes and in your eyes you will see your worth as He sees your worth.
