You Are Valuable

Diamonds,
You cant live your life trying to appease everybody, or get them to like you while compromising who you are for the sake of winning them when they already have a warped perception that they are better than you.

I am talking about fostering and nurturing a positive self worth. Your self worth does not come from those around you but has been given to you from the One who created you fearfully and wonderfully.

God has an awesome perception of who you are and you never have to live beyond who He has created you to be.

Don't look to man for validation or affirmation because, once man knows you need this in order to function,  they will manipulate you and mistreat you once you no longer serve a purpose for their personal gain.

Jesus came that we may have life more abundantly. Not be held captive or placed in bondage because we may suffer from poor self worth.

You are valuable to God and he would not have you to be mistreated by anyone. He is interested though in exposing you to the truth that you may be set free.

Even if you have sinned, we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God but God loves you and sent his Son to die for you.

Think about it in this way:
Just because a dollar bill has been balled up, stepped on and thrown on the floor does not mean it loses its value.

Many of us have had premarital sex, lied, stolen, hated someone in our heart, was prideful, greedy, drank ourselves under the table, sold drugs, watched porn, betrayed someone's trust, unwilling to forgive, etc. However,  our sins were not so bad that Jesus was willing to change his mind about laying his life down for us.

He was not so hung up on what we did today or even what we committed against God on yesterday. God was more interested on providing you with a path that would lead you to a bright future. That also includes being healthy in your emotional state regarding how you perceive yourself in order to discern between the truth and a lie.

Youre valuable to God and I hope you are encouraged today to know that nothing will ever separate you from the love of God. When Jesus died, his blood was shed because of his love for us and love covers a multitude of sins.

Not that we ought to think more highly than we should, but when we think about God's thoughts toward us, know that his thoughts toward us are all good! Never allow anyone to treat you less than you are worth and you dont allow the enemy or the father of lies to distort the image that God desires for you to embrace. God loves you and as you walk in this truth, walk into the fullness of who God purposed and called you to be!!

You Are Valuable!

Sincerely,
Rev. Dana

I heard it said once that people don't evangelize because they are too concerned about their finances. Instead of concerning ourselves with our finances, we need to make our trust in God a priority. Outside of God we will never have enough or be satisfied: therefore, we ought to totally rely upon the strength of God who is our Source and promised that we would not go without lack nor seed begging for bread. I've tried God at His word. There was a time I needed $500 and God laid me on the heart of someone and said, "God laid you on my heart to be a blessing to." The "things" we spend time worrying about that would potentially take our minds off of doing the work of God, God is already working that situation out for you. You just have to trust Him and continue in the work while you wait for Him to fulfill that which He promised. Now, if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior then these promises do not apply to you but are available because Jes...

Diamonds, Starting over can be a very humbling experience but one you should not resist. Its all apart of the process for God to make all things new in our lives. Being afforded the opportunity to have a fresh new start, or afforded the opportunity to blossom in a new pot of dirt speaks to both the grace and the goodness of God. Regardless of whatever your yesterday dictatated to you, the moment God allowed you to start over should keep your focus foward. You can't drive and arrive at your destination looking backwards. Besides, that chapter is over. Finished! Where God is leading you is full of promise and the production of fruit that will last. Get ready for your later days to be greater because you are no longer your past! Walk in the confidence of God knowing He will never lead you where He is not and  He has your best interest in mind! Be Blessed & know since you have a reason to shine (because God resides on the inside of you) let your light shine so that others may...

Taking It Lying Down!

Diamonds, What do you do when your being mistreated? Insults being hurled at you? People talking about you? Lie on you? Mistreat you all the while they tell you that they love you, are for you, and smile in your face; thinking of new ways to manipulate you in order to further use you to their benefit with no plans of giving you credit.  But God is awesome in that He will open your eyes to their evil and diabolical schemes toward you; it may appear that you are passively resisting but in the spirit, you are actively praying unto God regarding the situation. You are asking and inviting God into the situation; He is the One who is with you and will go to bat for you all while it may appear that you are taking things lying down .  There is no need to make it public because God has a way of making spectacles out of devils or the devils that some allow to control them. He did just that when His Son died on the cross at Calvary. He did not come down , all the while it app...
