I will be the first to admit that I feel like an inconvenience from time to time. Whether I'm given a task that I screw up, which leads to a time crunch and stressed out peers or I wake someone up at an insane hour because my thoughts keep me awake; I wonder if I am really worth the hassle. While I say I can be the first to admit that, I sure hope I'm not the first person you hear this from: You are SO worth it.

You are worth comforting at 2am when your world seems to be falling apart.

You are worth searching a store for hours to find the outfit that makes you feel most confident.

You are worth the prayer and love that people extend to you.

You are worth the $5 it takes to buy you a coffee when you go out.

You are worth the oh-so CRAVED instagram posts detailing how awesome you are.

You are worth the teacher staying a few minutes after class so you can understand the subject.

You are worth the amount of time it takes to get from point A to point B so long as it means being with you.

You are worth the amount of laughter you cause people- even if it brings them to tears.

You are worth celebrating- victories, birthdays, you name it.

You are worth a hug.

You are worth turning regular milk into chocolate milk if it really means that much to you.

You are worth memorizing or writing a song for.

You are worth the time it takes to talk about how your day went.

You are worth a smile and a simple "hello".

You are worth the effort it takes to find the perfect gift.

You are worth someone pulling over or driving to you when you have a flat tire.

You are worth cheers when you walk across stage on graduation day.

You are worth giving a back massage to.

You are worth the wisdom being poured into you when you're in a rough patch.

You are worth giving directions to when you're lost and confused (metaphorically and literally).

You're worth staying on the phone with when you're walking alone and feeling unsafe.

You're worth sitting on the sidelines with when you're injured and need a bench buddy.

You're worth dropping everything when you want to hang out last minute.

You're worth missing an episode of a favorite tv series (that's a big one).

You're worth eating your body weight in pizza and ice cream with.

You're worth the time it takes to create this list.

You're worth the moon and the stars and everything inbetween.

You're worth dying on a cross for. You're worth our God entering this fallen world to be beaten, mocked, and scorned. You're worth His intentionality when creating you. And you're worth His time, everlasting love, His ears when you need to cry to Him, and all His attention.

You're worth it all and an abundance more.

"So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows." Matthew 10:31 (NLT)
