it doesn't matter what the world says about you

it doesn't matter what the world says about you.

it doesn't matter that people have something negative to say.

it doesn't matter that some remember your failings, your faults, your missteps.

because God has something else to say.

He says you are worth it.

He says you have value.

He says He loves you.

and if you don't believe it, look toward the Cross.

look towards His ultimate sacrifice. giving His very Son so that you might always know-without a doubt-the love He has for you.

the worth He sees in you.

the value He sees in your life.

but you do doubt it at times.

you do think you're not worthy.

you do wonder why a God so great would love a person so flawed.

God knew that.

He knew you'd have moments when you'd feel that way.

He knew satan would try to convince you that your failure was too much for the Lord.

and so God gave His Son.

to pay the price for your faults. to pay the price for your sins.

to pay the price for us all.

because we needed it. because we still need it. 

every moment. everyday.

God has a plan and a purpose for every life.

He has a plan and a purpose for you.

it doesn't matter what the world says about you. it doesn't matter that they only remember what you've done wrong. because God sees your possibility. He sees your potential. He knows your worth.

the world may say you're a failure.

but God says you are loved.

by Him.

and He's the one that should matter to you.
