I was talking with someone recently who was struggling with worthlessness. The enemy is so stupid. We are children of the most high Almighty God, creator of the universe, and our creator. How in the world can we be worthless? We can't. We have all had times when we have felt worthless. I was laying in bed the other night and a scene from a movie popped into my mind. Maybe it's a stretch - maybe not - depending how it hits you. Anyhow, I am putting a part of the movie here on my blog. Just so you know, this movie "You've Got Mail" happens to be our family girl movie. My girls and I practically have the movie memorized.
Starting at 1 min. 40 sec. until 2 min. 33 sec. Here in the scene Kathleen was feeling a sense of worthlessness, but was quickly rebuked by her boyfriend with the truth of who she is. I love that. After hearing the truth she walks away in confidence. (the subtitles are the new language I just learned - just kidding)
So when we get hit with feelings of worthlessness we must counter them with the truth. Psalm 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." The truth of our beauty in Christ will make us walk with confidence.

Pam, I love your blog and your willingness to be lead by our Lord to share your journey! May He continue to lead others to a closer walk with Him through you and your blog. Our God is a faithful God. There is a great song "The Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns (http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/casting_crowns/voice_of_truth.html). The song talks about the lies that the world and Satan (the giants in our lives) would love for us to hear and believe. But the Voice of Truth tells us a different story. What voice are you listening to?
