Pride
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh,the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2:15-17
Who tells you whether you have value? Do you tell yourself that people around you will see that you have value because you did something special for someone. It is probably not the world who you should be relying upon to tell you what you are worth. We tend to focus on the world to lift us up, and the problem is there are things in this world that lead to pride. As the scripture says, the world and its desires pass away, but God does not and that is who we should be turning to. God values all His children and we shouldn't need other people to tell us we have value, but we should focus on God and what He has for us.
Have a great weekend.
