This video pulled such strong emotions from me I had to share...
I was someone that struggled horribly with self-esteem and needing approval growing up. It seemed I could never get enough attention from others and to my detriment I lost who I was.
The world will tell you who you are, who you should be... who you want to be. Lie, brainwash, make you compromise, make you wish you were everyone else but yourself. You wont recognize who you are by the standards of the world, because the world has no clue who you really are.
Where do we go to know who we are?
Perhaps to our family? Perhaps to what you do? Your status in society? What you are good at?
No.
It must come from the inside out. From the core of our soul. Raw, unhindered transparency from the inside.
What would you say if you could have eternal significance. Who you are to carry on past your time on earth? Who you are past what you're good at, who you're with, our family, past present of future? What if I told you that your worth isn't based on anything you can do or not do? What if I told you... that your "try" doesn't give you value?
Hard to swallow... Nothing you have control over gives you true, lasting eternal value.
You have value simply because you are loved. Made in the image of the creator, weather or not you believe in Him. Why would the creator make you? To be loved back. How are you doing with that?
Who you are begins and ends at the Creator. God. In his never stopping never ending, boundless, immeasurable love he gave of himself to have you know Him more. Jesus. The stories you have heard are true. He is who he said he was. Son of God, died and rose... why?
To let you know his daddy better.
He experienced being fully rejected by his daddy so that you don't have to experience it.
Your try will never be enough to completely and totally love yourself into eternity. He is outside of space and time. He made you in his own image. He invites you to put your try in Him. And in doing so His love will cover what your try cannot earn.
