EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

There was a time when I felt alone, isolated and not worth very much in my life. I believed the lie the enemy wanted me to believe. In truth and in God’s eyes, I am inherently valuable to Him and loved because I am created in His image.

“We” are all created in His image, and “YOU” have value whether you believe so or not. God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for you and me. When I grasped this truth wholeheartedly and repented over my sin and became a Christ follower, my life was radically changed. I mean radically! Your worth is not based on external factors or achievements but on God’s unwavering love and the sacrifice He made for you.

The Bible states that both you and I were created in God’s image, indicating that we possess a unique value and purpose in this world. Until I realized what God’s word said, I never knew my purpose or value and just went on to believe what the enemy’s lies dictated to my soul. I had to stop it and say, “No more!”

God’s love is demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus, who died for our sins, highlighting the immense value He places on you and me as individuals. And as children of God, we are loved and have a place in His family, giving us a sense of belonging and worth that we could hold forever.

” For grace you have been saved, by faith and not of yourselves, it is a gift. Not of works should any man boast.”

God also has a plan for each life He created, and as His child, you can trust in His guidance and purpose and plan. Look for direction as you pray and read your Bible. God loves us so very much. Believe this, not because I say so but because you belong to your heavenly Father.

Your worth is not determined by performance or your actions in what you think you should do, nor your achievements, but is inherent and given by God by His grace. He loves you more than anything or anyone else ever does or ever will.
