I can be so hard on myself sometimes and it was like a heavy burden was lifted. There was so much hope in the atmosphere. The Lord was surely there.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'." (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)
As a human, I base my self worth on what I've accomplished. I'm naturally task oriented. Many times I feel good about myself based on how much I get done at work each day. If I don't feel like I was very productive I can start feeling a little down.
I'm so glad that God's unconditional love sees past my failures, mistakes, and shortcomings. I mean more to Him than the completed tasks on my to-do list. It's Him that gives me my worth. It's Him that defines me and fills me with purpose. My heart is truly full when I follow Him and walk out the plans that He has for me.
