Who determines your worth?

I suck.
What am I doing wrong?
Why can’t I figure this out?
This is too hard.
I’m frustrated.
I feel like quitting/giving up.
Why can’t I get this?
These are the thoughts that have run through my head recently.
Are you surprised?
God taught (re-taught me actually) a very valuable lesson today during my #revelationwellness workout.
So many times I base who I am or my value and worth on WHAT I produce.
Is that webinar good enough?
How many clients booked a coaching package?
How much income did I produce this month?
I’m not sure when in my life I began to place a number or dollar sign on my worth.
When I do that I’m constantly pushing, striving, fighting, trying to keep up. Doing more to prove my worth. Prove it to myself, to others.
It creates tension, depression, anxiety, fears and doubts.
But God corrected me today.
He whispered.. “you have wrong thinking. You are using the wrong thing to measure your worth.
Nothing outside of me (GOD) measures your worth. “
He said, “yes you have skills, talents, and a heart and passion for what you do BUT all those things are gifts and not to be used as measuring sticks of worth. “
God determined my worth when He sent Jesus on a mission to rescue me, give me life, bring me hope and peace. He said I was worth it. Worth the sacrifice.
Scripture is full of truth about my worth, value and His heart towards me.
So I repented of that wrong thinking. I am resting in His love for me.
What about you?
What are you using to determine your worth?
Past sin? Mistakes? Successes?
Those things may be part of your story but they don’t determine whether you are valuable and worthy of His grace, forgiveness and Love.
Take time to consider the lesson I learned today. I pray it might help you.
