You know those people who are just insanely great?

Those people who you are genuinely convinced actually have it all together.

My sister is one of those people. I know that she doesn't always have it together, but she's really good at acting like she does. She is always the person to light up other people's and make sure that everyone sees their worth.

But the honest truth is sometimes, even she doesn't even see her own worth.

For her, the girl who is always a sunshine, it's hard to see that she is worth more than she could ever imagine.

Not too long ago I got a call from this perfect sister of mine and she told me this story of how she saw her worth in a lotion bottle.

She talked me through her day and her emotions. Telling me that her kids were just being kids and not really paying attention to her. Work was just work and not really anything special. Everything in her life that day told her that she wasn't enough.

Then when she went to put lotion on she pulled out a bottle that said "hello beautiful" and all of a sudden a light just clicked.

We find our worth in the strangest places.

Our worth is not defined by who complimented your hair at work or by a grade on a test. Our worth was defined when Jesus died on the cross and the rose again three days later.

We have to stop relying on lotion bottles, grades, people, and places to define who we are because when we rely on worldly things we will never be enough. Not even for a Bath and Body Works lotion bottle.

Eventually that "hello beautiful" will run out and you'll have to go buy another. Eventually, they won't even make that lotion anymore and what will you do then? What will you do when at the end of a tough day you don't even have a lotion bottle to tell you that you're enough?

It's time for us to find our worth in the one who found us when we got off track.

"Then Jesus told them this parable:“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15: 3-7
