Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good. 
Jesus didn’t come to make poor people rich. 
Jesus didn’t come to make weak people strong.
 
Jesus came not to be an addition to ones life but a revolution. 
Jesus came so that we would be resurrected in Him. 
That we would have a new power to be restored. 

Not in our strength but in His. 
Not in our deeds but in His. 
Not in our wealth but in His.

Jesus came so that we could be Made New.

I've learned enough about myself to know that my struggle with "self-worth" plays out in my being competitive in ministry. Just being honest.

Here is what I've been maturing in. Christmas, the birth of Christ, is God's statement to me of my worth. Why? Because I was so valuable to God, He sent His son to show me that I was, "Worth It All".

Christmas says, "We are WORTH IT ALL"!

When I set my mind on this truth my struggle with self-worth fades and I am able to walk into this holiday season full of joy, confidence and generosity. Why? Because words said about me by others, my social status or career accomplishments do not determine my true worth. The incarnation of the eternal God has determined my self-worth and it is there I find my significance!

I pray the same for all of you. 
You are Worth It All!
