Sadly, people can’t wait to show you how little they think you matter in this cruel world.  Every where you look people are cutting you off in traffic, being sarcastic to you when you speak, disrespecting you by getting in your face, or are just down right rude in any dealings you have with them.  It’s completely uncalled far, and yet, it seems more common than ever before.

My daughter is getting a taste of the “real world” now working in a bank.  Occasionally she will encounter extremely rude customers, and it is hard to maintain your cool when dealing with people such as this.  It is necessary, though, and she does a great job.  I can tell it is wearing on her, though.

While black and white issues should not be prominent in the workforce, unfortunately, it’s there.  She has encountered issues with this also at the hands of her coworkers.  My heart goes out to her as she struggles with her self esteem and self worth as it is.  This is where I have to encourage her … “Know your worth, darling!” I tell her.  I can see she is struggling, and all I can offer is a pep talk to encourage her and bible verses to let her know that God is ALWAYS by her side.

“If God is for you, who could be against you?”  At times, though, it seems like the whole world is against us.  There’s one person that will always be by our side, though, and He will always be FOR us … and that is God!

I encourage her also to know her worth – know what God says in His world about us.  Refer to scriptures where it talks of the love He has for us and how valuable we truly are to Him.

We strive so hard to gain recognition from man, and often times the praise and approval will never come from those we desire it from the most.  No matter what, we can’t seem to do any thing impressive for those individuals.  This is where you must know your worth!  Their approval is not needed when you already have approval from God above.  You have His love.  His stamp of approval.  His gift of eternal life.  And that, my darling, is all you need.

God thinks you’re worthy.  God sent His son to die on the cross for you.

Know your worth!  You are a child of the KING!
