The world says we need “self-esteem”. In truth, we need to understand our “self-worth”. Our Creator God has a plan and purpose for each one of us. Have you missed it? As a Christian, that purpose becomes crystal clear at the moment of salvation. We are not left here on planet earth, to live for ourselves. When we turn the focus of our life inward, toward our own selves, we have then forgotten the reason we were left on this earth. And it isn’t about us!
Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
With a purpose like this—how can we miss our worth in God’s eyes! It doesn’t matter so much how we see our own self esteem.....it matters that we understand how God sees our worth from his perspective.
I am here for His purposes! It is not about me. Inward thinking is the world’s thinking. Turn your eyes upon Jesus...look full in His wonderful face. And the things of this world will grow strangely dim.......in the light of His glory and grace. You will have found your purpose!
