Stop Letting Others Decide Your Self Worth

Do not let others determine your value when God has already set it at an unmatchable price.

Stop letting others decide your self worth.

As people, girls especially, we get so caught up in what other people have to say about us and we try to do everything we can to please them and do what they say and live life how they tell us to, but we cannot keep doing that. We let others determine our self-worth but they set our self-worth so much lower than it actually is. We let them tell us what we are worthy of and if we are not careful they will tell us we are not worthy of anything when really we are worth everything.

We are worth so much more than what others have to say about us. We are worthy of love, of respect, of joy, of everything life has to offer. God sent his own son to die for you. God thought you were worthy of Jesus before you or your parents or grandparents were even on this earth. That right there sets our values at an all-time high, you are worth the savior of the world.

You are worthy of the love of God and that is the most miraculous love of them all. It never ends, it never gives up on you, and He will always love you. So if the one who created the universe thinks you are worthy of His only son why are you letting those who do not know you and how amazing you are tell you who you are and what you are worthy of?

I will admit I still struggle with my own self-worth at times and I let others try to define me but then I am reminded of God's love for me and the victories and purpose He has already declared over me and my life.

God has already declared all the victories over my life but just simply letting Him fight them for me. All we have to do is put our truth and faith in Him and he will guide us. Guide us from whatever trouble we are facing, guide us into the light, guide us to our purpose, guide us to His grace, His mercy, His love, and He will reveal to us just how much we mean to Him. Which is a lot by the way, more than all the treasures in the world.

I know the battle of self-worth and love is a tough one, I have been through it, but God has already won that battle. He has already won every battle we just have to let Him fight it for us, that is it.

Do not let someone else determine all of your worth when God already has and it is more than anything we could ever imagine. You are worth Jesus and He is priceless. You are worthy of everything this world has to offer, you are worthy of every ounce of joy and happiness. You are priceless and worth more than the unkind words of others. Do not let others determine your value when God has already set it at an unmatchable price.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
