Good early morning world! I just love the "Aha" moments in life, don't you? I had one of those moments in church this morning. I cannot believe I am the age I am, have gone through all the stuff I have and just now realizing this! And here it is:
My joy or my pain is not my worth. Sounds like this is something I should already know, right? I am not sure why I have not ever thought about this before. When I have been in pain or hurt from a relationship, I have felt unworthy. When I have felt joy for what ever reason, I have felt I was worthy of what ever.
Not so, just like my salvation is not contingent on what I do or not do, how I feel, it is solely based on the blood of Jesus who reigns in my heart. My worth is not contingent on what I do or not do, or how I feel on that particular day. It to is unconditional. As God's love for me.
It is freeing to know I am worthy and loved by my Father in Heaven, a daughter of the most High, adopted into the Kingdom of God, bought by the blood of Jesus.
I have been a born again believer for many many years, about 25 or so years. I have strayed away and come back a time or two. So why have I just realized this now? No idea. All I can say is it is in God's timing.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
