Self-Worth

Hey! Self-worth is a big issue these days.   For girls, it's hard to add up to what society says is  "beautiful".  Sometimes it's hard to accept that everyone is different and beautiful in their own way. If you struggle with self worth, remember that you are God's masterpiece! Picture God as the potter, and  we are the clay. He molds us into the wonderful people that we are. His sculptures of all of us are perfect. He never makes a mistake. Each one of his masterpieces are different but are all perfect.

 

Yet you, Lord, are our Father.

    We are the clay, you are the potter;
    we are all the work of your hand. -Isaiah 64:8

Everyone has something they want to change about themselves. Like their hair, eyebrows, weight, height, complexion, figure and it keeps on going. Every time we look in the mirror, we see all the things that we don't like about ourselves. Normally we concentrate on all the flaws we have, and we don't notice how beautiful we really are.  Check out this encouraging video below! It's about young girls and their mothers that find out how beautiful they really are. The next time you look in the mirror, try not to criticize yourself so much. When you look in the mirror, try saying,  "I am beautiful. I am God's masterpiece." Instead of knocking yourself down all the time, try building yourself up. :)

¹⁰ For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. -Ephesians 2:10

If you are struggling with self-esteem, please remember that God has made you an amazing, beautiful, talented person. God loves you with all his heart. You are his masterpiece, and you are worth more than gold! Check out this music video by Britt Nicole!

They are worth more than gold, even the purest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the finest honey. -Psalm 19:10

For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well. -Psalm 139:13-14
