Sometimes when we’ve had a difficult past it seems we need to learn how to / remember to value ourselves. For me this can be an ongoing process. Even though in my mind I know that I’m worthwhile and need to respect the life God has given me and appreciate my gifts, I can inwardly struggle at times to really acknowledge this in my inner being / heart. This can happen after an onslaught of difficult times or people treating me badly. A couple of my favourite passages are as follows:
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:16-21
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Psalm 139:13-14
I thought it would be great if we shared how we value ourselves and the different things that seem to help us in regards to this issue. Feel free to share graphics, songs and little tid bits if you wish.
I only included a small portion of Psalm 139 but the whole passage really is wonderful and speaks to this topic and God’s character. These two passages have helped me immensely regarding my views on this issue and I wanted to share them. I simply ask that we not judge each other’s worth and be sensitive when sharing regarding this issue. God bless!
