You know those days when you don’t feel like you’re worth it. Do you ever have a day where you feel as if you are constantly making mistake after mistake? As the great Hannah Montana sings in her song, “Nobody’s Perfect,” “Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days.” Everyone has those days where nothing seems to go their way. When you feel that there is no positive outcome out of all the tragic events that is happening around you…
God simply reminds you that YOU ARE worth it.
Life itself is extremely stressful and learning to grow up quickly at such a young age is even more difficult. There are days where you feel as if the world is against you and nothing can go right. Sometimes you even question as to what you were put on this Earth for. Everyone goes through these struggles on a daily basis; no matter what it is dealing with, it can be school, work, or just life in general.
Being a college student, I have had multiple struggles with friendships, school, my job, trying to fit “in,” and so much more. Normally moving to college, you make friends but throughout the school year they start to date and have boyfriends or girlfriends. If you are single, when all your friends are in relationships, it can make you question if you are worthy enough to date. Dating comes with much more responsibility than people may think, especially with technology nowadays. If you decide to date in college, you will always have that crazy ex that stalks you on every type of social media and sometimes that ends up with name calling, fighting and who knows what else. With technology booming, social media causes young ladies and even young men to make bad decisions that affect their lives and the people around them. Usually when a tragic event happens, it seems that those are the only times when everyone cries out to God for help or even asking, “Why me? Why did this happen to me?” Believe me, when I have horrible days, sometimes I find myself questioning why an incident happened to me and no one else. Being in a relationship with Jesus helps me have a unique aspect on my life and sometimes after I have questioned the Lord, he always reminds me in a small way that it is a storm and that, “through the storm, he is Lord, Lord of all.”
There have been times when I have called my mom crying because I do not feel “worth it,” or I feel as if the world is totally against me at that moment. She always reminds me that my worth is not based on what the world thinks of me, but that my worth is based off of God’s word.
God’s word states in Ephesians 2:10, “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.” He created us to be unique and not to conform to what the world says, but to follow what he says.
Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” This verse reminds us that the world says to deny God, but He says to not follow the world.
Remember that God says that you are worth it, even when the world says you are not.
