1. #Yourinfiniteworth

The full realization of immense worth will cause even the most profane...

To become wholly beautiful...

How do we measure worth? What or whom do we consider worthy? I guess it depends on who you ask. Some will immediately consider a number in a bank account. Others, outward physical beauty or athletic ability and some perhaps intelligence. Mostly, I would say that worth is measured by something...

Wealth, beauty, youth, achievement, heritage, bravery, selfless acts...

These are the attributes many consider to be worthy.

Many of us are lonely in our pursuit to belong but we are not alone. Social Media is awash with an endless supply of pages for people looking for ways to improve themselves in order to be desireable. However, more often than not, it has only provided us with a myriad of more ways to prove to us just how unworthy we are. There has always been the rich and the famous, but never before has there been such a flaunting of individual "assets". There is a barrage of media constantly broadcasting immense wealth, beauty and athletic achievement. The endless feed...of homes (mansions), jewels, cars, yachts and perfectly airbrushed beauties who can transform anything they deem undesirable with the help of their "plastic" surgeon.

And what about the many who find themselves outside the confines of what the world perceives to be worthy? What about those who were once secure inside this enviable circle, to suddenly find themselves bankrupt, beauty fading, their achievements nothing more than a dusty trophy on a mantle. Perhaps their bravery has caused them to suffer from PTSD or they find they need the selfless acts of others because they are no longer able to care for themselves.

What happens to our hearts when we or others view us as "un" worthy? Where can we find the true love and acceptance we long for in this very fickle world? There are many self help books about finding our worth within. We may find that the process of loving ourselves really depends on our circumstances. When we find ourselves in favorable circumstances we can "feel" self love. However, as soon as circumstances change for the worse - our "self" worth many times morphs into self pity.

Our hearts were created to be loved. To be cherished. We long to know our meaning and our worth. We yearn for importance - to someone and to ourselves. Who can count how many songs have been written about love? To love somebody or having someone love you is life's breath. It is woven throughout our being.

We yearn to be worthy. Not because we have cash in the bank, are beautiful, brave, or cool... We all have a deep and powerful ache for a love that is not dependent on what we do, but on who we are.

You were made to be loved... because you are loved.

God LOVES you...

God's love for you is like a Mother giving birth. The Mother does not yet "know" her child and her child has done absolutely nothing for her except give her sickness, stretch marks, sleepless nights and incredible pain, but when the baby is born, if you look...

You can see it...in her eyes...infinite love and worth.

She "created" this amazing wonder (with a little help) and she will do anything in her power to love, protect, and treasure this little one. For she deems this baby to be "worthy" and for no other reason than it is hers...

You are God's. He created you. He knit every fiber of your being for the express purpose of knowing and experiencing His love.

While we may try everything in our power to find love and worth in this world. It will never truly satisfy.

But while you are on your journey remember this. You may have caused Him sleepless nights and agonizing pain...but...if you dare look up...

you will see it...

YOUR INFINITE LOVE AND WORTH...

In His Eyes...

"We love because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19)
