Stop Letting Others Decide Your Self Worth

Do not let others determine your value when God has already set it at an unmatchable price.

Stop letting others decide your self worth.

As people, girls especially, we get so caught up in what other people have to say about us and we try to do everything we can to please them and do what they say and live life how they tell us to, but we cannot keep doing that. We let others determine our self-worth but they set our self-worth so much lower than it actually is. We let them tell us what we are worthy of and if we are not careful they will tell us we are not worthy of anything when really we are worth everything.

We are worth so much more than what others have to say about us. We are worthy of love, of respect, of joy, of everything life has to offer. God sent his own son to die for you. God thought you were worthy of Jesus before you or your parents or grandparents were even on this earth. That right there sets our values at an all-time high, you are worth the savior of the world.

You are worthy of the love of God and that is the most miraculous love of them all. It never ends, it never gives up on you, and He will always love you. So if the one who created the universe thinks you are worthy of His only son why are you letting those who do not know you and how amazing you are tell you who you are and what you are worthy of?

I will admit I still struggle with my own self-worth at times and I let others try to define me but then I am reminded of God's love for me and the victories and purpose He has already declared over me and my life.

God has already declared all the victories over my life but just simply letting Him fight them for me. All we have to do is put our truth and faith in Him and he will guide us. Guide us from whatever trouble we are facing, guide us into the light, guide us to our purpose, guide us to His grace, His mercy, His love, and He will reveal to us just how much we mean to Him. Which is a lot by the way, more than all the treasures in the world.

I know the battle of self-worth and love is a tough one, I have been through it, but God has already won that battle. He has already won every battle we just have to let Him fight it for us, that is it.

Do not let someone else determine all of your worth when God already has and it is more than anything we could ever imagine. You are worth Jesus and He is priceless. You are worthy of everything this world has to offer, you are worthy of every ounce of joy and happiness. You are priceless and worth more than the unkind words of others. Do not let others determine your value when God has already set it at an unmatchable price.

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.
