OUR WORTH IN GOD’S EYES

CHONA C. MANABAT

We are all special in God’s eyes. If this be our motivating factor in order to live happily amid adversities, then, there are no reasons to give up, to be sit down in depression and to be lonely. We are God’s gift. He equally loves us. Let us not allow other people to have the chance to make us sad, oppressed and depr essed.

There are people who are happy when they see their fellow in bad situation. It may sound ironic yet it is true. All of us will experience happiness and loneliness. Life is not always in bed of roses. The more we have difficulties, the more we have to strengthen our faith in God. Our worth is in God’s eyes. Let us do our best and God will do the rest. He knows our cries, our heartaches, our failures and everything that pulls us down. Face all of these through God’s power. Feeling unhappy and upset will not make life better but BITTER.

A positive outlook in life is the best solution in order to live stand and still despite of the circumstances. Let us live a stress free life. It is not easy to live happy each day. To keep us happy and feel our sense of worth, think of those who treat us special, our family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, administrator and many more.

Keep ourselves busy on worthy activities. Reading the Bible will inspire us. Writing our devotions, reflecting, joining spiritual gatherings are our escape to loneliness. There are many things we have to thank for, instead of worrying many things, think of the many blessings. Let us always start the day right and be consistent in praying. God will be in control of all our actions and emotions if we will let HIM be the center of our life. Peace and comfort will rule us each day.
