Through His Eyes, We Are Worthy

If you are searching for your worth in the world, you are looking in the wrong place.

Let's be real. Life can be rough. Being the imperfect humans that we are, we have a tendency to get things wrong sometimes. We can not take these trials and errors to heart, though. To let these little mistakes define how we see our worth would be the biggest mistake of all. Why? Because God definitely does not define our worth through our flesh's mistakes. He even says we are "more precious than rubies." (Proverbs 3:15) We need to learn to see ourselves through His eyes.

Through His Eyes, We Are: Loved

Love is, in my opinion, the most important principle to live by every day. So many good works can come from one person with a heart full of love. There is absolutely no mistaking that God loves us. Just consider that He sent His only son to die for our sins so that we might be saved. His love for His children is far greater than any this world has to offer.

Through His Eyes, We Are: Called

We are called to be like Jesus. This is the basic definition of being a Christian. However, we are not only called to be like Him, but we are also called to share Him to the world. This is best accomplished when our actions prove that we are someone with a heart for God. Remember, words can say something about a person, but how we portray them will prove it.

Through His Eyes, We Are: Blessed

Everything good in our lives is ours because we serve a gracious God. When we lay our burdens at His feet, He takes and transforms them into something that is beneficial to us. Our blessings come from His favor for His children. His blessings become more and more apparent as we continue to strengthen our relationship with Him.

Through His Eyes, We Are: Free

Christ dying on the cross for our sins is the symbol for our freedom. Sin and things of this world have no grasp on us. Jesus, himself, said, "If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." (John 8:36) We have been set apart. We have the ability to use this freedom to serve one another. How amazing is that?

Through His Eyes, We Are: WORTHY

Our idea of our worth is minuscule compared to God's. This is just one reason why we should look to Him before we think about looking to the world. He is a never failing, always good, and forever loving God. He knows what we need before we know ourselves. He is a guide and a provider. Trust in him and know you are worthy.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
