Reflections 4/21/2020: This definition of Self-Worth is a surefire ride on a roller coaster through life! Lots of ups and downs depending on our Performance, (which is drastically changeable), and even more fickle, others’ Approval of us! BUT, this is the default definition and defining factors of most people’s Self-Worth. “All aboard the crazy train!” Yesterday I was actually productive and felt a rush of value tell me I was worth something! That’s not a bad thing, but it’s not what I want to DETERMINE my worth in life. God’s replacement definition is:

Self-Worth = God’s Love + God’s acceptance of You!

WOWZERS! Freed from Performance! Unshackled from other’s APPROVAL! And surprisingly melded into God’s heart in a way that WANTS to be productive for His Kingdom, and CHOOSES to love others for THEIR sakes, not our own approval needs! I like that! So spending time in Your Presence, absorbing Your Love and Acceptance of me, is key to powering my Self-Worth! Draw me daily to You for refueling!
