I am worthy. I am worthy of life because of what Christ has done in my life. I am by no means, worthy at all on my own, but it is because of the grace God has showed to me that I am worthy. I have messed up and done things I fully regret, but God takes all those things and carries my burdens. God calls me his daughter and in him, I am made worthy.
God calls me worthy among many other things such as loved, seen, heard, never forgotten, and a child of God, to name a few. I never knew how worthy I am to God until my intern at Younglife camp gave me a rock that said "i am WORTHY."
I learned that I am worthy in the midst of struggling to find my self-worth. I was believing the lies that the enemy was planting into my head of me, that I was not good enough. I believed that I was not good enough for anyone or anything. I believed that I was not worthy of any recognition or even to be noticed by others. Through her telling me this, I realized that I am worthy of so much because of Jesus.
When I realized how worthy I actually am, my perspective on life changed. I started looking at myself the way God looks at me. Being worthy was the first thing I realized I was in God. Every time something does not go my way or I am upset I remind myself who I am in Christ. I remind myself that I am worthy daily.
Do not confuse being worthy in this life with being entitled. No one is entitled to this life, but everyone who has received God's grace for them is worthy. When I realized all the things God makes me worthy for, I made a list and this helped me find who I am in Jesus.
I am worthy to be known by others. I am worthy to be loved by others. I am worthy to be who God has created me to be. I am worthy!
Every person on this planet is worthy. They are worthy of who God created them to be. They are worthy of what God has in store for their lives. They are worthy to love others. They are worthy of the attention and love of those around them and most importantly they are worthy of God's love and grace.
Being worthy is not something we could ever earn, it is something that God has created us to be. Just like God's grace, if we ask we will receive. He takes our mistakes and turns them into beauty. God makes us new everyday and calls us worthy. Being worthy is a part of our identity in Christ as Christians. It brings God glory to call us as people worthy. I challenge you to remember all the things you are worthy of through Christ.
I am Jourdyn and I am made worthy by God because it is apart of my identity in him!
