Worth More Than Rubies

You’re worth far more than all the treasures of the earth.

Worth More Than Rubies
Melodi Greer

I have always struggled with my value and with how I see myself. I know that self-worth is a huge issue for young girls and even grown women. Sometimes, we just get in this funk in our life and we just don’t see ourselves the way we should. We get up in the mornings and we look in the mirror and see every imperfection on our face. We see the curves of our waist line and our legs. We see the way our hair falls. We see the bags under our eyes. We are our own worst critic.

There are so many scriptures in the bible that tell us our worth. These are a few of my favorite ones.

Genesis 1:27

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them”

Psalm 139:14

“I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.”

Song of Songs 4:7

“You are altogether beautiful, my darling! There is no blemish in you!”

Ecclesiastes 3:11

“He has made everything beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.”

Proverbs 3:15-18

“She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are very pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful. She is like a tree of life to those who obtain her, and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.”

Proverbs 31:30

“Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”

We are worth more than rubies. Ladies, learn to love yourself. You are worth it. You’re worth far more than all the treasures of the earth.

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.

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.

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.
