Hard work teaches us how to value various things in life. The harder something is to accomplish, the prouder we are when we actually accomplish it. The more costly something was to obtain, the harder we work to keep it in great condition.
Unfortunately, we understand that concept with everything but self. We often don't know how to truly value ourselves. We judge ourselves so harshly on things that don't amount to a hill of beans anyway. We look at our appearance, our degrees or lack thereof, our pasts, our pains, our flaws and we find ourselves feeling like less than dirt and accepting mistreatment from others because we don't think we deserve better.
If this is you, here's what I would like for you to do right now: go to the nearest mirror and look yourself in the eye for 20 seconds without speaking. Then, point your finger at yourself and tell yourself that you deserve everything Christ died for you to have including that abundant life, that life that includes more than we can ask or imagine. Do it now and live it daily!
