Nothing Can Take Away Your Value
Nothing can take away your value.
Today, I want you to know how valuable you are! I want you to know that nothing in life can take away your value.
The Bible says that when we compare ourselves to one another, it isn’t wise. (2 Corinthians 10:12) When we walk in comparison, we will either see ourselves as more than someone, which is pride, or less than someone, which is shame.
One day I was in a public school in Washington D.C. There was a young man there and I just knew that he was in a struggle with his identity. During my teaching, I asked him, “Would you like this twenty-dollar bill?” Of course, he responded, “sure.” But before I gave it to him, I crumbled it all up and I began to speak angrily at the money saying things like, “You’re no good. You’ll never amount to anything. You’re not worth the paper you’re printed on.” I threw the bill on the floor and stomped all over it. Then I picked it up and I asked him, “Do you still want it?” He said, “Yes.” Why? Because it still holds its value.
In that moment, I said to that young man what I am saying to you right now: No matter what has been spoken over you or even what you have spoken over yourself; no matter what has happened to you or how many times it felt like you were crumbled up and thrown to the ground and stepped on. No matter what, NOTHING can take away your value.
I pray for you that you would recognize the value that you hold; that you would arise and discover the beauty of what you carry inside, and that God’s hand is upon you mightily. No matter what you’ve experienced, you hold your value. I pray that from this place of knowing your worth, that you would then begin to generate value in the lives of others.
God bless you,
Melodye
