I can’t believe in a few days we will be in the year 2016. With the New Year quickly approaching, a few months ago I started doing some inventory of my life and asking God what my one word for 2016 was going to be. After much prayer and seeking God, God spoke to my heart.
My one word for 2016 is “WORTH”. If I am completely honest with myself before God, there have been times in my life where I have compromised and listened to man instead of God because of my own insecurities. Maybe I didn’t like what the scale said that morning or perhaps there were some major disappointments and hi-cups in my life and I was looking for validation from man. Have you ever been there? If you have then you know it is the long and winding road that leads to nowhere. There is nothing to satisfy you. Man pleasing leaves you feeling exhausted. Looking back how I wish I would have gone to God as my first resort, instead of my last.
The good news is that God is always waiting with open arms. And that is where my worth is found. Completely and totally in God. I still have days where I get up and may not like the numbers on the scale, but it doesn’t ruin my day anymore. My worth is not found in the scale, but in Jesus Christ! I make a choice right then to know whose I am and to walk in that freedom of not being taken hostage by the enemy.
I am so excited about 2016 for so many reasons. I can’t wait to see what God teaches me this year about WORTH! I know I am Worth It and so are you! I want to take this opportunity to wish you a very blessed and safe 2016!
