MAKE GOD THE SOURCE OF YOUR SELF-WORTH
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
MAKE GOD THE SOURCE OF YOUR SELF-WORTH
If you’re struggling with self-worth, remember that God says, “You are precious to me” (Isaiah 43:4). This truth isn’t just comforting words; it’s a powerful reminder that God values you deeply, regardless of what others may think or say. When you let God be the foundation of your self-worth, you’re accepting a value that can’t be shaken or diminished by anyone else’s opinions or actions.
This understanding is crucial in relationships. When you know you’re valued by God, you’re better equipped to set healthy boundaries, recognizing that you deserve respect, love, and care—not because of anything you have to prove but because God Himself has given you worth. With this in mind, you can avoid compromising your values or ignoring your needs just to please others. Often, feelings of being used or unappreciated stem from unclear boundaries, and sometimes from not fully knowing or believing in your worth.
Embracing your God-given worth gives you the confidence to approach relationships with honesty and authenticity. You won’t feel the need to pretend or alter who you are to gain acceptance. Instead, you’ll be able to evaluate whether a relationship is genuinely healthy and aligns with your values. This sense of self-worth becomes a guide, helping you recognize who truly values you and who doesn’t, allowing you to make wise choices about who you let into your life.
Remember, outside of your relationship with God, the relationship you have with yourself is the most important. When you truly believe you are precious to God, you’ll begin living in a way that reflects that truth—setting boundaries, making decisions, and forming connections that honor both God and the incredible worth He has placed on you. Believe that you are precious, live accordingly, and let this understanding guide you to relationships and choices that enrich and uplift your life.
