You Are Worthy

 YOU. 

I’ve thought about you for a while. Truthfully, I think about you all the time.  There is something very specific that you need to know. I’ve mentioned it before, yet I don’t think you’ve listened or understood.

Ironically, a man told me that I am wrong.

In response, I am going to fight for what I believe to be true.

The truth is: YOU are WORTHY!

Did you hear me?

You, the girl who sits across from me at Starbucks and asks, “How does he know that I like or even love him?”

You, the girl who met me and softly stammered, “I just need a hug.”

You, the girl who questioned me so boldly, “Does you’re past define you, even your tainted virginity?

You, the girl that is rushing to “be” someone and I’ve tenderly whispered,  “Stop and just rest.”

You, the girl that I’ve challenged time and time again, “use your words!”

You, the girl who keeps looking in the mirror and says, “I ain’t worthy…I am ugly.”

WRONG!

WRONG!

WRONG!

Because each one of you are worthy of such things:

·      Your worthy of acceptance and love

·      Your worthy of peace and intimacy

·      Your worthy of purity and hope

·      Your worthy of rest and grace

·      Your worthy of honesty and respect

·      Your worthy of and beauty and truth

I love how Jon Schmidt highlights his daughter in this beautifully composed song. May you listen and know that your Heavenly Father is stating the exact same thing, “I tried to extend that moment…”

Why?

Your Heavenly Father just wants to extend a moment with you, so He can expand on how you are WORTHY in his presence.

Ask him today, "God, how am I worthy?" 

From my heart to yours,

Charlene
