Good Morning,
Be careful around people who don’t value themselves, because they’re
incapable of valuing you. Look for those who enhance you, not inhibit
you; who fertilize your mind and fortify your faith. When you’re around
them you’ll see your best qualities mirrored, and be nurtured by the
words that come from their lips. When you encounter somebody who says
you have nothing to offer, be sure to laugh; it’s impolite to hear a
joke and not laugh. When God made you He stepped back and said, “That’s
very good” (Genesis 1:31). So stop entertaining contrary opinions. You
have so much potential that the word “possibility” is written all over
you. By God’s grace you can be everything He desires. “God decided to
give us life through the word of truth, so we might be the most
important of all the things he made.” You say, “But I’ve so many
regrets.” If you’ve repented and learned from them, get your eyes on the
future! God’s love isn’t based on your performance. He didn’t pick
you because of your virtues. “While we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us” (Romans 5:8). He’s the God of second chances, and third ones
too. Paul writes, “There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind
that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and
bring it to a flourishing finish” (Philippians 1:6 TM). The God who
brought you this far will take you the rest of the way; He’s committed
to you. Just make sure you’re committed to Him. (Taken from: The Word
For You today/FBCIT)
“So we might be the most important of all the things he made.” James 1:18 NCV
