Priceless And Precious

If you only see yourself in the eyes of the world and the assessments you think they perceive, then your self-worth will be a hindrance...for you will become only what you think they believe.
And if you busy yourself on a daily basis with comparisons of the personal kind, then you'll never know yourself or the value you are worth through the peace God can give to your mind.
But if you spiritually grow as you press in to know God's character through the Word He provides, then you will discover your soul has a lover and His feelings for you never hide.
Then through the eyes of God you will come to see yourself as somebody full of infinite worth; A person God created to be filled with His Spirit and unlike anyone else on this earth.
You will also come to see any gifts or talents not as something to envy or compare. But you'll know they are given to glorify the Lord for your life and the time you are there.
The "comparison game" trades self-worth for shame by the losses it always reveals.
But God gives the knowledge that we are priceless & precious by His truth that corrects as it heals.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:4-10 NKJV
