“WORTH!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 746

July 29, 2025//

I read about a teenage girl in Zambia whose mother died giving birth to her. Her words broke my heart.

She said: “I’ve never known love my entire life. I have always felt like a mistake. Like it is my fault my mother died”

She shared living with her father’s constant resentment, she’d even attempted to take her own life in the past.

After hearing Metro Ministries lesson, “You’re not a mistake because God created you;” for the first time she knows real love, God’s love!

As my heart went out to her, I began to think about those who we know or see every day or somehow are in contact with.

How many feel like a mistake. That there is no reason to live, no one would really care if they were gone!

It may be that you feel less than enough or useless or that no one cares, or the guilt of things that are not your fault, or mistakes that you have made weigh you down until you believe the lie that it is of no use. I just need to give up and quit or destroy myself or so many other lies we tend to listen to!

There is a void deep within each of us that only allowing the Love of our creator God filling us deep inside as we realize that Jesus Christ died for us, will satisfy!

God created man and breathed life into Him. God created man in His image and desires for each person to have Peace and Joy that comes not through circumstances but through receiving the Love shown on the cross!

Drugs, alcohol, money, success, or nothing else will satisfy the longing that is deep within each person who has ever been born on this earth!

Are we seeing the real hurts around us that just a word could help!

Many children and adults, even in our local area are impacted daily by poverty and hunger, drugs and gang violence. Fear is rampant in our schools and there seems to be no safe places.

But may I tell you, Jesus Christ is our safe place! His presence gives us a feeling of security and self-worth because we know He helps us each day!

We cannot be with our children 24 hours a day, seven days a week all the time as they grow and then have families of their own!

But when we know we can pray and they are in the loving protection of a God that Loves them without condition, we can release each of them to His care!

What about you?  Do you know your worth?

Do you comprehend that you were created on purpose for a purpose!

May each of us who understand how much you love us, show that love by reaching out to those who think they are a mistake or that there is no way out of their situation and show them truth. You are the way, the truth and real life!

Matthew 11:28 (KJV)Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Father, in Jesus’ name I come! I ask you to help us to see the hurting and bound and oppressed and reach out to them with your Love. You give us real life, and you show us our worth! Let us be diligent as we go about our daily chores, to see others as you see them and not just the outward appearance! Your love can change the lives of the most hopeless. May we never forget that! Amen!

Love, MeMaw!
