Worthless?

worthless

This morning all I kept thinking when I woke up was...I don't know what my worth is. I mean, I know I'm not worthless, I've been under the shadow of Your wings long enough to know that whether the lie creeps up or not. But this morning, it was just this overwhelming feeling...go to the word...go to the word..that's where you find your worth.

So as I sat down with You...this is what You said...

~you are worth snatching from the flames

~you are worth fixing

~you are worth never giving up on

~you are worth cherishing

~you are worth lavishing gifts upon

~you are worth picking up the broken pieces again and again

~you are worth the broken heart from watching you chase after countless lovers and idols

~you are worth sending My Son, my very own Son, who was with Me since the beginning of time. Worth sending Him to stand in your place take your punishment. You are worth a tortured beating, thorns in skull, nails in hand, spit in face, you are worth the mocking, the bleeding, the face of God turned away.

~you are worth My endless ocean of Love.

You [Judah] shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land be called Desolate any more. But you shall be called Hephzibah [My delight is in her], and your land be called Beulah [married]; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married [owned and protected by the Lord]. ~Isaiah 62:4~

Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (tattooed a picture of) you on the palm of each of My hands; [O Zion] your walls are continually before Me. ~Isaiah 49:16~

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ~Isaiah 61:10~

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. ~Song of Solomon 2:4~
