You Are a Child of the Most High God

An important factor in seeing yourself God's way is to understand your intrinsic sense of value. Your sense of value cannot be based on your successes or failures, how somebody else treats you, or how popular you are. It’s not something we earn; indeed, we cannot earn it. God built value into us when He created us. As His unique creation, you have something to offer this world that nobody else has, that nobody else can be. Your sense of value should be based solely on the fact that you are a child of the Most High God.

The Scripture says 'we are God's workmanship' (Eph2:10). The word workmanship implies that you are a 'work in progress.' Throughout our lives, God is continually shaping us into the people He wants us to be. The key to future success is to not be discouraged about your past or your present while you are in the process of being 'completed'.

God knows your value and loves you unconditionally! He sees your potential. You may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head high, knowing that God is in control and He has a great plan and purpose for your life. Your dreams may not have turned out exactly as you'd hoped, but the Bible says that God's ways are better and higher than our ways. Even if everybody else rejects you, remember, God stands before you with His arms open wide.
(by Joel Osteen)

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
Philippians 1:6 (Amp)
