Unworthiness

Have you ever sat in a corner and thought to yourself "I am so unworthy, how can God possibly love me? I am undeserving of Jesus' sacrifice"

This is something I have to say I was struggling with since the day I came to Christ, I never really thought much into my feelings of unworthiness, I just thought of it as a personal thing that doesn't influence my feelings towards God or even have anything to do with him because its my own feelings of lack of self-worth...(idk if that made any sense at all)

This year, actually very recently...this week, I finally see the problem. It's true that we are undeserving and unworthy of what Jesus has done don't get me wrong, (I mean thats what Grace is all about. He gave us what we didn't deserve.) But its the very love that he has for us that gives us tremendous worth. He made us worthy..more than worthy. How can we say that we are unworthy and not love ourselves when this man held us with tremendous worth that he was willing to die for us and to go through all the pain that he went through for our sake.

My pastor said something interesting "i believe the gospel has little to do with the worthiness of you or me"
That is very true, i mean if you think about it; the gospel has nothing to do with how worthy we are because God clearly loves us all unconditionally. No matter how messed up we are or what we have done, God sees us  the way our parents would but so many times more. We're his precious jewels, the very ones he love so much. Who are we to judge whether we were worth Jesus' death or not?

So believe me, you are more than worth it Because God said so :]
