A
reminder for today
Oh,
give me back my joy again; you have broken me—now let me rejoice. (Psalm 51:8)
Have you ever wondered how much you are worth? Your life,
how much is it worth? A lot of us go through an emotion where we feel like an
outsider. We feel that we are not as great as other people and we might feel embarrassed,
because of how we look or how we talk. This makes you shy and uncomfortable
among people and sometimes it can hurt, because people can be mean and nasty to
you. In most cases it is not what they do but what they say.
When I was in school I felt like that a lot. I was
smaller than most boys and I was unable to do sport, because of sickness so needless
to say I was never part of the popular groups. This in its own had quite a negative
impact on me and made me make a number of bad choices and huge mistakes.
But then the Lord came and changed all this. Did you know
that you are so important to the Lord that He gave up His life and died for
you? How many of your friends would do that? Did you know that after that He
came and made His home in you? This means that the creator of heaven and earth considers
you so worthy that He made you His temple. Then too top it all He stands by
your side day and night making sure that you are well taken care off and that
you have all you need.
Now let me ask you again: Your life, how much is it
worth?
After school the Lord blessed me with huge successes in
sport and I spend a lot of time in the gym which means that now when I see some
of my old school buddies things are a little different. The Lord blessed my
hard work with huge results and as much as the enemy tries to break my
determination with sickness and injuries, the Lord blesses me twice as much
with success. Every morning when I glorify Him with my training session, I am grateful
for the abilities that He blessed me with.
So, why do you bother with what other think and say when
it is so clear that the Lord is so impressed with you? Let us look at ourselves
and our lives with Jesus eyes so that you can see how much you are truly worth.
No matter who you are or how you look, you are a child of God and He died for
you. You are worth so much more than you think. Nothing should be able to
convince you otherwise. There are no drugs or substances that can do what Jesus
does. You do not need pills to make you feel better when you realise how
wonderfully perfect you are.
Know this: Within you dwells an almighty God and nothing
is impossible for Him. I have seen it in my life and I know you will too.
Your joy is about to come back in abundance.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
