I am such a flawed person that sometimes my own flaws make me sick and I wonder how in the world can the Lord love me with all of these flaws?
That’s where my mind battle begins.
I have now allowed satan to come against me and attack because he knew the area of rejection is a sensitive place for me same as it is a lot of people.
I have to remind myself that God carefully and intimately created me before I was even born.
Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. (KJV)
He set my value before I even took my first breath and He put plans in motion that would carry me through my entire life!
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (KJV)
THINK ABOUT THAT!
He loves all of His creation but we as humans are his greatest creation. He tells us that we are the most valuable to Him.
Matthew 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. (KJV)
My value and your value is so important to God that He even gave His only son to take the sin upon Himself so that we could have eternal life.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)
Our value is so great to Him that He knew we needed to feel His presence constantly so He gave us a comforter.
Like the sparrows that He talks about…. we seem so small and invaluable in this big world but God tells us differently and we must shut the enemy out when he comes to our minds to spread this lie.
Who cares that the whole world doesn’t know we exist. God knows and He made a way for us.
Sometimes I battle with feeling so helpless or worthless in times of tragedies…. and really… I am but God who lives in me… is NOT!!
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (KJV)
Do you want to know our value?
Out of all the 500 billion people on this earth… and all the ones that have already died even back to the beginning of creation…. God still valued us and knows us so intimately that He knows the exact number of hair on our head.
Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. (KJV)
He finds our worth so valuable that He made us in His own image.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (KJV)
The thing is… the enemy (the devil) is a liar and his purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. He starts in the mind which is why we are told to put on our helmet of Salvation so that we have protection of the mind. The devil will tell you that you’re not valuable and in fact he will remind you over and over of your mistakes and make you think you’re worthless and this is what makes people vulnerable to reach for other things to fill that void such as drugs, alcohol, sex, etc….
We must remember, as Christians, that Christ doesn’t continue to condemn.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (KJV)
The reality goes back to… He set our value before we even took our first breath and He put plans in motion that would carry us through our entire life!
OUR VALUE WAS SET!!!
Our value is not like the things of this earth and once we are tarnished then we lose our value. We don’t depreciate. Our value is precious to Jesus and He loves each one of us beyond any human comprehension.
We can try our best to understand that love because it’s spoken of in the Bible and it lives in us but we won’t understand the fullness of it until we reach heaven.
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (KJV)
His love is revealed in the scripture and we must have the faith to believe it. That’s why our faith is so important.
In my earthly understanding I know the depth of Christ’s love because He gave His life for mine. Even though I’m undeserving (with all of my mistakes) He still loves me. As a matter of fact… the realization is to me that the more I realize how undeserving I am of His love the more His love actually means to me. The day I accepted Him and my chains of bondage were broken is the day He came to set my torment free and NOTHING but His love could do that!
God wants you to see your value and to know the only cost was His life and He gave it freely so that you can have freedom.
Your value was set before you were born and you don’t ever depreciated!
Live your life for the purpose of God and allow Him to come into your heart and shed His perfect light on you and understand that He only wants to prosper you and never to harm you.
Feel His blessings today and every day and live in the freedom that was designed for you and rejecting the rejection that the devil has planned for you. He is a liar!
