Where do you find your self-worth?

All things were created by him and for him" Colossians 1:16

There’s emptiness in many of us around this globe, what is the problem? We struggle with insecurity.

We are ashamed of how we look. Do you ever just feel empty, left out and rejected?
 For you it may feel different, but it’s probably still there, just a big gaping hole inside. So what is it?

We are trying to find our self-esteem and worth apart from God. That hole inside of us was meant to be filled by Him! Nothing else will ever be enough.

We can try and find our worth from other things: family, friends, schoolwork, sports, our looks, attention from guys, shopping…

We can try to fill it with anything and everything, but that emptiness or voida perfect fit, and it isn’t any of those things. The perfect fit for the void inside of us is God.

We were created by him and for him, and nothing else will do. Many of us try to fill that void by looking “picture perfect”.

God created all of us to be beautiful in his eyes.

Only God can fill that hole inside of us, and we will only be truly beautiful through him. That is true beauty and true self worth.

Prayer:
Father God, thank you for being there for me. Thank you for not finding fault in little external flaws or imperfections, but looking at the true beauty of my heart. I know that that beauty is all that matters. Please help me to grow more beautiful in you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
