As a 20-year-old woman, I struggle with many things every day, one of which is my self worth. On the outside, I may seem to be confident in who I am and what I have to offer the world. On the inside, more often than not, it's an entire different story.

In today's society, there are people constantly trying to tear you down and make you feel inadequate. You try to be the best version of yourself and impress everyone you meet, and eventually you lose yourself along the way. Go on Twitter and I guarantee you that within the first 10 tweets on your timeline, you'll see something negative being said about another person. This is the most irritating thing to me, honestly. I wish I could say I've never been guilty of this, but that would be a bold-faced lie. Everyone does it, whether you are tweeting about it or sending it in a GroupMe to your friends so everyone can laugh about it at the other person's expense.

So many things can destroy a female's confidence. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the lie that you are worthless and that you don't matter. I am here to tell you that you are not worthless, and you do matter. You're not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and that is completely okay. God didn't put us on this earth to make everyone everywhere happy. Just because that dumb boy you think you like doesn't text you back or doesn't want to be your boyfriend, doesn't mean you aren't good enough. It is easier said than done to know your worth and stick to it. Trust me, I know all about it. So here is a message to all the girls out there that have fallen victim to that feeling of worthlessness.

You are beautiful. You are worthy of love and affection. You are smart. You are precious. You are never too much, and you are always enough. You are the most stunning of all God's creations. You are worth more than you can ever imagine. You are worth more than the number on the scale, or the price tag on your clothes. You are worth more than the number of guys who want you, or the number of girls who wish they were you. You are worth more than the number of followers you have on Instagram.

In the eyes of the Lord, you are loved. Whether you are a college graduate or a high school dropout. Whether you are a head cheerleader or just someone hiding in the stands. Whether you love yourself and know your self-worth, or you think about suicide and that no one would miss you if you were gone. Whether you model in a magazine or can't stand to look at yourself in the mirror. Whether you are outgoing or afraid to smile at a stranger. Whether you have tons of friends or you've never had anyone you could actually call a friend. Regardless of who you think you are, God knows who you really are. Who He made you to be. You deserve someone who would give up their life for you.

You are powerful, and strong, and capable. I know what you're thinking. "Me? Powerful, strong, and capable? Hahaha, Whitney, be quiet." I am serious. If you don't believe me, read about the women in the Bible. Mary, Esther, Ruth -- these woman changed the world forever. The same God that made them, made you. You are capable of the same things they were. Your job is to find that woman through your relationship with Christ and to set her free.

When everything in your life seems to being going just how you want it or it feels like your world is falling apart, there is a reason for this. God is the Creator of all things, and He is the only one who can turn a mess into a message. No matter what your situation is, I am here to tell you that you are worth more. Don't ever forget it.
