As we journey through life, we react to our environment. the seen and unseen world. We perform acts that often add to our brokenness and our frailties. This becomes an undesirable means to isolate us and enslave us to ourselves. Often we use this brokenness and frailty to calculate our ‘self-worth’. Hardly a flattering result. With it we create an identity of ‘who we are not’.
Far removed from our brokenness, beyond y our human frailty lies the human heart, the center of our consciousness, and the seat of our intellect. Found here is the imprint of the divine; the image and likeness of our creator, residing here are goodness and truth. God values each one of us so greatly, sending His only Son to die for us. Based on this He has calculated our ‘human dignity’. The result is always stellar. Even the angels are envious of us. Nothing ever can diminish its infinite price. It defines ‘who we are’.
Forget about ‘self-worth’ and its enslaving effect. Forget about ‘who you are not’. Rather embrace ‘human dignity’ and its liberating result. Realize what you possess; great beauty defined by a good and truthful heart. Realize who you are. You are a Child of God!
