There have definitely been times in my life when I believed I was something special. I was full of pride and I knew I was gifted, talented, and heading towards greatness. There have been other days when I have wondered if it was even worth it to keeping on living. I felt useless, untalented, and headed towards complete failure. It is amazing we can feel those type of extreme emotions about ourselves and our worth. God longs for us to have a balanced perspective of ourselves and our worth. Child of the King and sinner in need of God's grace. When I get down upon myself and focus too much on my faults and failures - I need to read verses like Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
I am valued by God. He knows me and still loves me! Amazing
