Has anyone ever told you that? Did they say it to you in such a way that you actually believed it was true, not just because you posted some great photos on Instagram or because they wanted something in return? Did they connect the words to you in a deep and complete way \u2014 to every quirky, awkward, messy, unlikable part of you?<\/p>\n
When you look at your life, you may see a mixed bag of successes and failures. Some days stand out, when something really great happened. Other days, you\u2019ve struggled to get through rough, hard times when you messed up or lost something precious.
\nYou think about the times you gave up, gave in or felt like you just weren\u2019t \u201cenough\u201d in the moment.<\/p>\n
What if, even on those days, you knew without a doubt that you are unique and chosen? That your life truly matters? That someone sees all of it and says, \u201cYou are amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to identify someone else\u2019s talents and value, then look at yourself and say, \u201cBut, I\u2019m just a stay-at-home mom.\u201d Or an okay employee. A college dropout. A person who didn\u2019t follow a dream. Or one who tried to pursue a dream that ended with regrets. We all have parts of our lives or identities we would like to change, especially as we see other people who seem to live with more purpose or freedom than us. Have you ever had an \u201cI\u2019m just a . . .\u201d moment?<\/p>\n
The Bible records many stories about men and women who wrestled with their self-worth, their purpose in life and even their mistakes. When they called out to God, they found a loving Father who desired a relationship with them. God sees you \u2014 just as you are this very moment \u2014 and says, \u201cYou are amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n
Entonces, \u00bfcu\u00e1l es la desconexi\u00f3n entre lo que piensas de ti mismo y lo que Dios piensa de ti? Se llama verg\u00fcenza. La verg\u00fcenza es la voz que nos dice que no somos lo suficientemente buenos y que no pertenecemos. Es una mentira que nos atrapa y luego nos impide comprender verdaderamente lo que Dios piensa de nosotros.<\/p>\n
American scholar and noted author Bren\u00e9 Brown has written about shame and vulnerability.<\/p>\n
Digno ahora. No si... No cuando\u2026 Somos dignos de ser amados y de pertenecer ahora. Justo en este momento.Bren\u00e9 Brown – The Gifts of Imperfection<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Knowing that you are amazing and that you belong captures a core understanding of Christianity. It is one of the most important themes we see woven throughout the entire Bible: You were created by God \u2014 in His perfect image. As His unique creation, you have worth and eternal love.<\/p>\n
Each of us has a different story with reasons why we disqualify ourselves. Sure, I\u2019m okay a lot of the time. But amazing? It\u2019s time to find and know your worth.<\/p>\n
