I get it. Trust me. I know how hard it is to want something and wait for it. I know the heartache of praying for something and it still not happening. I know what it is like to be so close yet so far to the next season of life and so the waiting continues. I know what it is like seeing everyone else make progress in their dreams and getting the things that you are praying for and not understanding why it is not your turn yet.
But here is what I also know. I know that my worth is not found in the job I have, the car I own or the grad school I go to (Goodness, you don’t even have to attend college!!!) My value is not in my relationship status. My worth was proven at the cross. My success is not in how many things I have accomplished today, this year, or ever. Christ has “proven” my worth at the cross. My value is in the unshakeable fact that I am foreknown, predestined, called, justified, am being sanctified and one day will be glorified.
I know that the Lord has plans for His glory and my good so that I can enjoy him and glorify him forever and ever. The Lord is faithful. He has been faithful even to the point of death on the cross. He will continue to be faithful. He will be glorified on earth and in heaven. He will fulfill his purpose in me (+ in you, too).
You are loved. You are known. You are cherished.
“My value is in the unshakeable fact that I am foreknown, predestined, called, justified, am being sanctified and one day will be glorified. ”
