YOU HAVE
value.
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11
Hear me. You are not here by accident. You are here by divine design.
It does not matter who you are or where you live or where you are from. Whether your parents meant to have you or not. You were created on purpose, by a God who is no respecter of persons and who showed it by sending His own Son to die for every tribe and nation and tongue.
The world will try to assign your value based on your zip code, your bank account, or your last mistake. The Father assigns your value based on the price He was willing to pay for you. Look at the cross and let that settle the conversation.
The devil has a plan to kill you. Jesus said it Himself — the thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. But that is not the end of the verse. I have come, He said, that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
The devil may have written the first chapter of your life. He does not get to write the final chapter.
There is a future for you. A real future. Plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Not because you earned it, but because the One who knit you together in your mother's womb has been writing your story since before the world began.
Today is the day you stop letting the enemy talk about your worth. Today is the day you let the cross have the last word.
Father, I receive what You say about me over what the world says, what my past says, and what the enemy says. I have value because You bought me with the blood of Your Son. Write the next chapter of my life, in Jesus' name, amen.
