Step away from that tiny screen you hold in your hand and sacrifice hours of your precious life staring at.
In today's society, we have so many problems with worth. We fail to see how much we are worth. In addition to the concept that we are not good enough which we struggle with everyday, we do not recognize the worth of the people around us, even though we would like to think that we do. We take for granted these valuable things in life like the people who love us, the gifts that we have been given and ourselves.
A huge part of the lack of appreciation we have developed for the most important things in our lives is because society tells us to. We scroll through social media everyday and see images of unattainable goals for our bodies, our jobs, our homes, our clothes, and we look at that and say that some day we want all these things. We say that once we have them that we will finally be happy and this just isn't true. We set the standards that we will never reach and say that we will only be happy once we get there. So we will never be happy.
This is why we need to step away from the screen. When we are feeling down we run to our phones instead of running to scripture. We listen to society instead of God. We let society tell us what our worth is instead of our creator.
We need to learn to listen to the Lord and be thankful for the gifts that he is given us. To stop trying so hard to be something He did not create us to be and to stop taking for granted all the beautiful things in our life.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
