To him who ever loves us and has once [for all] loosed and freed us from our sins by his own blood. Revelation 1:5 Amplified Bible
Unworthiness is a trait many of us suffer from to some degree of other because of our upbringing, our past or even our present where we may feel inadequate, that we are not much good, that we are unable to do what God wants us to do. We may feel we have nothing to contribute, nothing worthwhile to say and no one wants us or our gifts. The truth is you have been made worthy by Jesus Christ. As Joyce Meyer says, ‘you are worth something because Jesus loves you and shed his blood for you.’ We have been freed from our sins and all unworthiness by the blood of Jesus. The value of anything is the price that someone is prepared to pay for it. The value or worth that God placed on your life was that Jesus was prepared to die for you to have eternal life and fellowship with him. He so wanted you that he was prepared to pay the price for you by dying an awful death, taking the sin of the world on his sinless body. That is how much you are worth.
Do not let the devil keep you bound by thoughts of unworthiness with no sense of self esteem other than comes from good works, from how you look or feel or from the approval of others. You are a child of God, bought with the precious blood of Jesus and worthy to receive all of God’s blessings. As Jesus hung on the cross his blood dripping out to pay for all of our sins, he was thinking of you and me; people saved from every tribe and nation down the centuries. We have such value in God’s eyes. Do not let the devil rob you. Meditate on God’s amazing love for us that Jesus was prepared to do what no one else could do and buy us with his precious blood. You are worthy; worthy to be called a child of God, worthy to receive God’s blessings and worthy to be used by him to be a source of great blessing to others. Unworthiness will rob you of your destiny. Determine today that you will lay hold of all that God has laid hold of you for by being what he says about you – a loved and worthy child of God.
