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

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
