"Did you know you are valuable?" I said to one of the girls at the Kids Club.
How many of us grow up really knowing our worth? This young lady spends a lot of her time reacting to every little thing said about her. I have spent a lot of time talking to her about what God thinks about her...how, if what is said about her conflicts with what God says about her then what was said doesn't really matter.
Everyday I ask her, "Do you know you are valuable?" Sometimes I get a yes...sometimes a roll of the eyes.
The other day I walked out of the Kids Club to her telling me that some young boys were making fun of her. I looked at her and asked "what is the truth, what does God think of you?" She looked at me and said, "I am valuable!" I asked her if it really matters what the boys say about her when Jesus says, "you are valuable?" "Nope!" she said.
This young girl is learning to put on her Son-glasses and to see herself through Jesus' eyes.
