You're worth it

It was beginning to be one of those days. Couldn't find my glasses, locked my keys in my car, the shower nozzle broke and water got EVERYWHERE, cut my finger. Who let all the monkeys out of the cage?! SERIOUSLY?! I hate those days.

Not only that, a particular person in my life was being hard on me and making me feel like an idiot. Whether or not that was their intention, I was starting to believe it. It all hit at once and it felt like too much to bear. Since crawling into bed and disappearing for a couple decades wasn't an option (I'd rather not sleep through the end of my twenties, I think they have lots of potential) I knelt down to pray. All I could say was "God, tell me I'm not an idiot. I just need to feel like I'm worth something."

Almost instantly all those bad feelings went away and I felt, no, I KNEW I was important. Even if nobody else loved me (don't worry, I know I'm loved ❤️) I KNEW God loved me unconditionally. He knows my potential and he knows I'm going to be something great one day. The peace I felt can't come from any source other than the Spirit of God. It was exactly what I needed. So I cleaned up the water, wiped away the tears, bandaged my finger, and called my Momma. Life went on.

I read a quote later: "When you know your worth, no one can make you feel worthless." Let me adjust that a little: "When you know your worth TO GOD, no one can make you feel worthless." When you understand a lima bean's worth of the love God has for you, you know that you literally, in all possible ways, can DO ANYTHING.  You realize that you are more important to Him than you will ever be able to comprehend.

If you ever feel worthless:

Step 1: Pray, 'cause God loves you and loves to tell you that.

Step 2: Get up and move along, cause life goes on.

Step 3: Call me, so I can shower you with love.

God never gets tired of telling us He loves us. That's a good thing, cause I'm pretty sure my love language is words of affirmation. If you don't say it, I tend to doubt it, which is funny cause I don't say it as much as I should to people. But God will tell us over and over and over and over and.......

We are so important it's crazy. God's love for us is crazy. He created a UNIVERSE for us. He created a world and filled it with beauty and magic for us (wingardium...wait, not that kind of magic). He spends every second of His existence helping and comforting and changing and building and strengthening us. That's how much He loves us. That's how much He loves YOU. 

Sorry if this is cheesy. But I really love God and I really love cheese. :)
