10. My Worth Has Nothing To Do With My HUSBAND
I pray that we all have people in our lives that are encouraging us with truth & reminding us of our worth & value BUT it’s also easy for us to put our worth in those people - people like our kids, our family members, our best friends, our husbands…
It’s the ones closest to us that we find ourselves relying on for affirmations & value. We have to remember that ultimately our worth comes from Christ and Christ alone.
On this week’s episode, I have the absolute privilege of chatting with my sister, Carlie Plett about her journey of understanding where her TRUE worth comes from. As much as she loves her husband (and he is one amazing man) she had to learn that her “worth had nothing to do with her husband”!
Around the time I launched SWW, she found herself stumped by the question. “Where does your worth come from”? She found that although she had been raised in the church & had heard how Jesus loved her from a young age, she realized in her late 20’s that she never really, fully understood what that meant.
Listen in as Carlie walks us through how she worked through the lies she believed about herself, how she identified where she put her worth & the steps she took to ultimately find freedom, joy, and fully acceptance in Christ.
Notes:
If you find yourself stumped by the question, “where does your worth come from? I challenge you to:
- IDENTIFY THE LIES: Take some time, reflect & identify the lies - What lies do you believe about yourself? What lies do you believe about God? Example - God doesn’t really care about me. God doesn’t really know me. I am not worth love… etc.
- LEARN THE TRUTH OF WHO GOD IS: Take it upon yourself to understand who God/Christ really is. Not just what you may have heard, or what others have said, OR what others have represented for you, BUT get to know God/Christ on your own terms. (For example - f you don’t know who God is or understand His character then it doesn't really matter if he loves you.)
- REMIND YOURSELF OF WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU: Now that you’ve begun to understand who Christ is, you can begin to learn and take in all the beautiful things He says about you. Once you know His true character, the things He did for you will mean so much more!
