I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful.
Psalm 139:14

 You may be tempted to define yourself according to what other people say about you-your looks, occupation, education, or even your wealth. But such measures of your worth are faulty, temporary and ultimately unproductive. And perhaps you’ve noticed that it’s the negative experiences that influence how you view yourself far more profoundly than the positive ones do.

       This is because in our human wisdom we don’t have an accurate idea about what gives a person value. If we did, the Son of God wouldn’t have been  crucified. We would have honored Him, knowing one day “EVERY KNEE WILL BOW… and every tongue will confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11).

       No, friend, the only One truly capable of judging your worth is the One who created you and paid the price to call you His own. In Jesus, you’re eternally loved( Jeremiah 31:3), accepted( Romans 15:7), adequate ( 2 Corinthians 3:5), and victorious (1 Corinthians  15:57). Trust what He says about you and embrace true identity.
