God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God. 2 T HESSALONIANS 1:5 NIV

Do you ever question if you are really worthwhile—lovable, acceptable, or competent? Have you ever felt as if you don’t measure up enough to be of any true value to others? These feelings of inadequacy are just that—feelings, not facts. And they blind you to who you really are in Christ. This is why you should always base your opinions on what God’s Word says about you.

The Lord’s judgment of who you are and what you are worth is more accurate than what you think of yourself because His view is eternal. He doesn’t appraise you by investigating temporary issues such as who you know, where you live, your title, your income, or how you look. Rather, He sees you through the blood of Jesus and desires for you to seek Him wholeheartedly.

Friend, take your focus off of what you think—or what others think about you—and embrace what the Father says. No doubt your self-esteem will automatically improve because God’s opinion is the only one that really counts—forever.

Lord Jesus, in You, and You alone, I am worthy! Thank You for making me worthwhile, amen.

In His presence . . . understand your true value.
