Most of us
have experienced in one time or another, the feeling of being unworthy, or that
we need to prove our self-worth to everyone else but ourselves.
I have
spent years growing and feeding the seed of unworthiness in my garden of
negativity. Each morning and night I would till these fields and make them
fertile for the next day. There was not a time I remember ever waking up
and saying or thinking that I am good enough, I was always trying to prove that
I was. The thing is, it is impossible to change that feeling without changing
the thought behind it, and worse of all if you do not know that this is a
problem or your lying to yourself that it is okay to think this way. How are
you ever going to change what you think is normal.
"For as he thinks
in his heart, so he is..." (Proverbs 23:7 - King James Version)
Thinking you have no self-worth,
sadly means that you truly believe you do not and in turn you are looking for
that assurance from others. When all you need to remember that He loved us so
much that we are called his Children.
"Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
children of God. "(1 John 3:1 - King James Version)
God knows your value and worth,
when you are down, he holds u in the palm of his hand so that the waves of life
are not as rocky, but once we find our footings on the open waters. His hand
never leaves us, it is always there to provide support and encouragement. We
just need to look above and find peace in the waters that he parts for
us.
For we are worthy, now it’s
just time we start believing and acting like we are. Weed out the garden of self-doubt
and fill the fields with the seeds of God’s love. Create new pathways in your
life that leads to positive thinking and outcomes. When someone tries to chuck
over your garden fence some negativity and feelings of being worthless,
remember to find refuge in God to weather the storm.
