Embracing Our Worth

Written by Missionary Lee Watson

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Psalm 139:14 (NLT): "Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it."

In a world that often pushes unrealistic standards of beauty and productivity, it can be easy to forget the value and uniqueness that each of us possesses. Psalm 139:14 (NIV) reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, crafted by God with intention and purpose. This verse reminds us to embrace our worth and recognize that our value is not based on external factors but on how our creator created us.

Embracing our worth means celebrating the incredible design that God has instilled in us. This includes understanding our strengths, acknowledging our weaknesses, and embracing our individuality.

When God called Jeremiah to be a prophet to the nation is Israel, he told Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:5a (NIV), "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart,"

This verse reveals to us that God has a specific purpose for each of us and acknowledges our uniqueness and significance in His plan before we are ever born. It serves as a reminder that we are intentionally created and set apart for a purpose.

Embracing our worth empowers us to seek and fulfill our God-given purpose, knowing that we are valued and set apart to make a difference in the world around us.

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: God, thank you for creating me wonderfully and intentionally, and for recognizing my unique worth in your eyes. Help me to embrace how you created me as your masterpiece and to live out the purpose you have set for me. Amen.
