Worthless Or Unworthy?

Deciphering the difference.

Worthless Or Unworthy?

How many times have you looked into the mirror and thought to yourself: "I would be so much prettier if..." I know that I have been in that situation plenty of times. STOP. Stop letting Satan twist your mind into thinking you aren't good enough. You are exactly how God made you.

Wow. That's insane. All of my "flaws" is exactly how the King of the Universe wanted me. In Psalms, it states: "I will praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful and I know this very well." (Ps. 139:14). Why is this something that is so easy for us to tell others, but difficult for us to believe ourselves. I constantly struggle with beauty but I find it so easy to encourage others struggling with beauty.

So are we worthless or unworthy?

A common misconception is that these two are the same thing. Newsflash, they aren't. This is a question that I know plenty of people struggle with weekly, if not daily

WE ARE NOT WORTHLESS. Being worthless would constitute that we are, in fact, worth nothing. Absolutely nothing. And if that is the case, and we are in fact worthlesswhy did God even create us? Think about it. ALL POWERFUL ALL KNOWING GOD, created something not even worth His time? Doubt it.

On the other hand, being unworthy? That is something I believe. God is ALL POWERFUL AND ALL KNOWING. He is so much greater than us, yet He sent His ONLY SON (the only one, he didn't have another. I checked.) to die for ME, for YOU! That blows my mind. I sin & fail God daily yet he still offers unfailing, unshaking love to me.(Especially when I don't offer that same love to myself...

Take some time this week, or even just today and make a list of everything that you like about yourself. Focus on this. You are God's original masterpiece and don't let that be changed by a number on a scale or the rude words of those around you. When you get a chance watch the Skit Guys: God's Chisel & grab some tissues. God doesn't make junk

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
