There have been times in my life when I’ve felt completely unworthy… of love, of forgiveness, of God’s calling. After my divorce, those feelings hit especially hard. How could I, someone who had failed in such a public way, still be used by God?
One day, I was reading Ephesians 2:10. It says we are God’s handiwork, created to do good works that He prepared for us. The word “handiwork” struck me, it means we’re not just made by God; we’re His masterpiece. He designed us with care and purpose.
That verse reminded me that my worth isn’t based on my mistakes or my past. It’s rooted in who God says I am. Even in my brokenness, God calls me His child. And because of His grace, I can still walk in the good works He has planned for me.
If you’re struggling with feelings of unworthiness, let me remind you of this truth: You are loved. You are chosen. And nothing, no failure, no regret, can change the way God sees you.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for creating me with purpose and for loving me despite my flaws. Help me to see myself through Your eyes and to walk confidently in the calling You’ve placed on my life. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
