Recently, I ventured back out on the dating scene again. Though it was not as successful as I had hoped, I learned the reward of being secure in who I am.
As little as a year and a half ago, I had next to no security in who I was. I felt like I needed a man to give me worth, even if it meant giving more than I wanted. After yet another relationship ended, I decided to take a hiatus from dating and focus on my spiritual walk. Through finding a church that challenged me to grow, I began to really understand that God values me and wants me to place value on who I am and my relationship with him.
I believe that He wants the same for you. You do not need anyone to give you value. You are valuable as you are. After all, "before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you." (Jeremiah 1:5)
Consider this truth. While this specifically speaks to Jeremiah and his call as a prophet, the same truth applies to each of us. God knew us, knows us and sees who we have yet to become. And he consecrated us.
Will you take this challenge, to seek value in God? Will you trust that He gives you value and that you are valuable as you are?
This week, I challenge you to seek God's truth. Seek what His word says about the value He places on you, His creation.
Here are a few verses to get you started:
Jeremiah 29:11
1 John 2:2
Also, meditate on Christ's crucifixion and why He died for man.
