Chosen and Approved: Knowing Where Our Value Comes From - Jeanne Takenaka
This child o’mine can be so critical of himself and his creations.When we got home from school, he held his cuttlefish over the trash can, ready to toss it.I claimed that two-foot-long creation for myself (and maybe for him again, one day).When he calmed down, we talked. He automatically saw himself as not as good as those kids who received kudos for their sea projects.If I could have told him what I needed to hear at his age, these are the points I would have shared: What people think of us doesn’t determine our value. Striving for value from people becomes more of an empty pursuit.God tells us this:He has loved us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3)He rejoices over us in singing (Zephaniah 3:17)We are precious in His sight (Isaiah 43:4)He delights in us (Psalm 16:3)There is nothing we can do to separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39)When we embrace these truths, they will help us reframe where we find our value.And I’ll give you a hint.
