For years, a pair of sunglasses determined my worth.

When I was in my twenties, I proudly made my first big purchase: a pair of Serengeti sunglasses.

But shortly after buying those sunglasses, I lost them.

It might sound silly, but that incident plagued me for decades. I told myself that I couldn’t be trusted and didn’t deserve nice things. I doubted my worth as a man and my ability to be a good dad.

It took years for me to realize that my worth is in Jesus Christ, and that my mistakes don’t determine my value.

Today, it’s your turn. Ask God to help you believe the truth about yourself. Your children– especially your son– need to see you living in freedom.
