“Far More Valuable Than Diamonds.”

Women are rarely satisfied with what they see in the mirror. Some feel they are too short, or too tall, or too thin, or too heavy. The list never seems to end because women tend to focus on the flaws or at least what they consider to be a flaw.

For some, it might physical dissatisfaction, while for others it might be that they’re not smart enough or outgoing enough or worthy enough. A multitude of studies indicate that the way a woman sees herself determines to a large degree the way she acts and reacts in life. A person’s self- perception or self-esteem tends to be a leading factor in the way she measures her worth. If she sees herself as a victim, she’ll allow others to prey on her. If she sees herself as a loser, then she’ll never measure up. If she sees herself as a piece of junk, she’ll begin to think of herself as nothing more than a pile of

(Okay. That’s enough of that.)

But is underscores the point. The way a person sees themselves determines their thought process, actions and reactions, and their destiny. Many never reach their God-given potential and purpose because of an overwhelming feeling that says, they’re not enough. This is NOT how God views His children. And it’s definitely not what He had in mind when He created the human race.

Here’s the thing. When God created man and woman, He made them exactly the way He planned. When He designed each individual, in their mother’s womb, He planned their size, the color of their eyes, and the color of their skin, as well as everything about them. Just as God proclaimed His creation good in Genesis 1, He proclaims that that both men and women were made perfect in His site. So when someone talks about things they don’t like about themselves, they’re disagreeing with how God made them. God does not make junk.

According to Psalms 139: 14, each person is fearfully and wonderfully made. And because God’s work is wonderful—therefore, each person is wonderful. When a woman allows these truths to take hold of her reality, she begins to see her worth through the eyes of God. It changes everything. For example, take a look at Proverbs 31:10.

“Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.”

The Message put’s it this way, “A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more Rubies and diamonds are expensive commodities, yet according to God a good woman is a greater treasure worth far more than expensive jewels. It gets better!

In 1 Peter 2:9-10, Peter paints a beautiful portrait that portrays a person’s worth “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellences of him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have

First, a person doesn’t choose God, but rather He chooses them. They’re not chosen because of their race, sex, or culture, but by the “mercies of God” to be Secondly, they are favored. The Lord saw their guilt and sin and showed them mercy. He didn’t stand off. He didn’t judge. He drew near with love and favor and Thirdly, they become God’s treasured possession. They now belong.

Maybe they’ve never belonged anywhere before, but now they do. They belong to God and His forever family. That’s not all. Since God owns everything, to be called his own possession has to be something special. And it is. God’s people are Christ’s inheritance, and God doesn’t give junk to His son. No, he gives Him something of worth.

Something precious far greater than diamonds. Fourthly, they are holy. To be holy means to be set apart. A Christian has been set apart by God for God. They may not feel very holy but when God looks at them He sees the holiness of His Son. Therefore, acting any other way than holy, contradicts their identity in Christ. On good days and bad, God sees nothing less

Finally, Those belonging to God are royalty. They are children of God—the King of Kings. This means that nothing stands between them and their relationship with God. Just as an early king might have a prince or princess, God’s children are also considered a prince or princess of the King above all kings. No relationship is closer and none more valuable than a royal child of God.

These truths are reminders that God’s children are very dear to His heart. When they finally grasp the height and depth of His love for them, no other opinion matters but His. God says His children are worthy to be called His own, they are far more valuable than diamonds, they are wonderfully made, chosen, favored, treasured, holy and royal. If women could only see themselves through God’s eyes instead of their mirrors, their beauty would far surpass that of a jewel.

When I was asked to write a post on “worth more than diamond ” or rubies according to some translations from Proverbs 31:10, I immediately thought of how unworthy I felt.  In Isaiah 64:6 it says, all my righteousness are as filthy rags and in Romans 3:10 no one is righteous not even one.

How blessed I am that a great and mighty God, Creator of all things, sent His Son to die for me.  He knows who I am, what I am.  My inner most thoughts are known to Him.  And yet I am worthy in His sight.
In Proverbs 31:10 it says “Who can find a virtuous woman?”.  When I looked up what the word virtuous means it said; moral excellence, goodness, righteousness, principled, upright.  Another meaning said in the world it would be classed as a person who does good things.  The one definition that spoke to my heart described a woman who filtered every decision through the Word of God.  WOW.
The verse goes on to say “For her price is far above diamonds”.  I know that my price is worth far more than diamonds for it was paid by God’s Son for my salvation.
May I be that virtuous woman to my husband, my children, my sister, my friends, my church family, and to everyone I meet.  God please help me to be all that You created me to be.  Help me to honor Your precious Son’s sacrifice.  Help me to filter every decision I make through Your Word. Amen!!

“Worth Far More than Diamonds.”

Diamonds are cherished, valuable, precious and costly.  A diamond called Koh-I-Noor, part of the British crown jewels, is estimated to be 3.5 times the wealth of the world!  Proverbs 31:10 says: “A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds.”  What makes a “good woman” worth so much?

The woman described in Proverbs 31 who is worth far more than diamonds, who is to be “admired and praised” is worth so much because she fears the Lord and knows Him.  Every task pours out of her loving and caring heart, one that knows its identity, and knows where its strength comes from.  A woman who is secure in her identity and knows that she is a daughter of the King of Kings acts like it!  She walks out her Father’s will confidently because she knows she is valued, loved and cherished by Him.

She knows her worth and her identity are not found in accomplishing tasks, but first and foremost, in loving and being loved by her Father.  If she tried to find her identity in anything but God, she would eventually face burnout, but by His strength working in her weakness, nothing is impossible!

Each time He said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness”.  So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

2 Corinthians 12:9- Knowing that you have the Spirit of God living in you, giving you strength, and finding your identity by being in communication with the One who created you is the only way you will find your true worth.  I think one of the biggest insults to God is doubting our worth.  He has placed His Spirit in us, which is the greatest gift He could give, and we cheapen ourselves, thinking that we are worthless. He formed us exactly as He wanted, and we dare to tell Him that we’re unhappy with ourselves and how He made us.  We are temples of His Spirit, and we should live like it!

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous- how well I know it.

Psalm 139:13-15

Wouldn’t a Creator and Father know the intended purpose, worth and identity of His creation?  He created us exactly as He wanted!  Wouldn’t someone who is an expert know the worth of something?  He knows every detail of your very being and says, if you follow Him, you are worth more than diamonds!  So I encourage you today, woman of God, live like His daughter, be led by His Spirit, and never doubt that you are worth far more than diamonds!

What is my worth?

This is a great big question. My mind thinks of my worth when I was a little girl, my worth when I was dating, my worth being a wife and a mother. But, the answer to “what is my worth” in the eyes of Jesus, is the only one that really matters in the long run.

Proverbs 31:10 “If you can find a truly good wife, she is worth more than precious gems!” (Living Bible)

What do you think of the word, “worth”? Consider the Webster’s dictionary definition: deserving of, value, equal in possessions to…

Growing up my worth was in the love and encouragement of my parents. Nothing was impossible for me to do. They instilled in me that with God’s help all things are possible. There was nothing I could do to make them love me more or less, and it is with these same glasses that I can believe God is looking at me today.

As a young lady hoping to find my mister right, there were some bumps in the road called rejection. Yes it hurt, but through the healing of my heart, I was always reminded that I was truly loved by God. God used those rejections to build character and discipline in my life and to prepare me for the best He had for me (my husband, Daniel).

In my barrenness, for 7 ¾ years, I continually needed to remind myself that I was still loved by my husband and most of all, Jesus loved me more. One day I had to give up my dream and in my desperation, I pleaded “God, if You will not give me a baby, please take this desire away”. It was at that time, when it was out of my control, we found out we were indeed going to be blessed with a baby. Although, the pregnancy was not without more health concerns, I found myself, yet again, believing by faith and trusting God. At last our Elizabeth was born. Because of this, I learned that my worth is not in the ability to be a mother.

The worth of a person is best summed up by our Creator, when He said “I value your worth so much that I gave you My only begotten Son, Jesus, to pay the price on Calvary for your sins”. This was done so we could have a right relationship with Him.

Today, what is your worth? Is it who you are with, that you have material things, the opinions people have of you, your job, or even which association you belong to? Remember, you are a precious gem, beautiful in the eye of the Beholder. Your worth as a human being, is you are made in God’s image, this goes beyond riches.

“You are worth more than a precious gem”. Imagine right now that the Lord is looking down at you with love and adoration, because to Him, you are HIS. That is your worth!

 I am NOT an object. Am I the only one feeling like this? Have you ever experienced a moment in your life, where you have felt like, you are just an object. Well, I have… Millions of women have suffered being told “Women are not people, women are objects—look sexy or no one will love you.”

The medias bombarding screams of terrible lies at us women, are a constant obnoxious overload. Making us at times, feel inadequate about ourselves simply, as human beings. The use of the female body (which is so often digitally modified these days) is one that disgusts me to the point of distraught. It is broadcasted not as a fearfully and wonderfully made creation but, rather just a sex object.

The female body is way to often turned into a product. Sold, for male pleasure. It is turned into something to look at and to have those “feel good” moments. This has become the hideous normal in our culture. Objectification designates that ‘woman creatures’ have no rights. As if, our existence is oblivious. Turning any living creature into an object is an act of oppression. Objectifying women is not only to blame for just one specific culture or religion. Look at the media, objectification is happening in all cultures, religions and countries. We are being so strongly affected by what we see in the media that it starts translating into our everyday lives. Women are never portrayed as icons of worth, strength, and confidence.

The world portrays us women, as icons of being sexy, and of being a man’s pleasurable object. It’s a horrific global epidemic. Women of all ages, are thrust forcefully onto a never-ending search and quest to find true acceptance and a sense of worth in today’s corrupted society. “Why is my worth defined by my outward appearance?” After a short while, if not introduced to the truth. It is easy for us, to fall into believing that our only worth is in our outward appearance and we look at ourselves from the outside. For many women, it becomes a new cultivated life style. Every living moment is spent striving frivolously creating an outward appearance that will gain true acceptance and will be ‘worth’ desiring in the worldly standards.

This twisted mindset is placed as an attack from the enemy to completely destroy women’s confidence and self-worth. The way the world has treated us women has now affected the way we as women actually live. It has affected the way women see women. We no longer are equal in our sex. We are constantly on the look out. Her hair is so lushes. Her face is so clear of acne. Her body is so flawless. Why can’t I look like her??

These are just a few of the hundreds of comments I have heard in the community of young women. We are daily-blinded by how “Beautiful” is portrayed by the world. As a young woman, I have had moments where my appearance from the outside, gains this monumental importance, worth, value and attention from the opposite sex.

This attention was not sought but, rather forced onto me, as I innocently walked down the walk-way one spring afternoon with my young lady, Best-Friend. Hearing the horn honk, along with the loud whistles and non-sense shouts from the pick-up truck full of young men that recklessly drove by, were utterly unbearable. I walked away from that situation feeling violated, ashamed, dirty, and worthless. Why was this my fault? Why did I feel this way?

Proverbs 31:10 (MSG-Bible) says… “…Worth far more than Diamonds.” When I read this verse, I wept. I ‘Kerrington’ was worth more than diamonds??? How could that be? I for sure didn’t even feel worth a penny in those moments but, God seen me as a beautiful diamond.

A couple years back one of the wisest young women I personally know, spoke some very powerful words to us at a Youth Conference in an all girls session. I will never forget this analogy for all my life. She said: “Imagine if you had a big beautiful diamond ring, and you were walking along and then you accidentally dropped it in to the mud…Would you pick it up? Yes! Of course you would…Why?

Because it’s still a diamond. It’s still is valuable and worth something, even when it’s all muddy.” Ladies, we truly are that diamond ring in so many different aspects. We may have had a rough past in relationships, in life, etc. We may feel all “muddy” covered with sins and completely worthless but, God washes us clean…Because we are WORTH it! We are worth diamonds in His eyes!

Never forget…

You are beautiful.

You are valuable.

You are cherished.

You are mighty.

You are powerful.

You are pure.

You are worth it.

You are a diamond!

Until Next Time,

{Worth} Celebrate.

UYM

Written By: Joceline Sweeney
I am on the worship team at my church. Oh, how I love to sing and worship, but there is a particular singer, I want to tell you about and if she reads this post she will know I am talking about her.

“Am I worried about that?”….NO! Because everything I am telling you, I have told her.

She truly has an amazing voice. Clear, strong and beautiful. Angelic. When she sings it is absolutely mesmerizing. You can’t help, but feel completely surrounded by the presence of God. The anointing that falls when she sings is heavenly. All I can do, is just breathe it in.

This would be the perfect place for Satan, if I allowed him to come in and trip me up. Because remember, I too am on the worship team. I could allow thoughts of ungratefulness for my voice to creep in, feelings of inadequacy to fill my heart or jealousy and envy to rot my bones. Instead, I choose to celebrate the talent that God gave her and receive from it. 
 
My soul is refreshed when she sings, my heart is encouraged. If I allowed Satan to have his way, I would miss out on the gifts that God has for me through her singing. God is using her talent to benefit me! Are there any areas in your life that Satan wants to stir up within you? Don’t give him the chance!

Maybe your place is to celebrate with a friend who just received something you’ve been praying for.

Maybe your place is to celebrate for the lady whose blog just received more hits than yours.

Maybe your place is to celebrate for the coworker who seems to be getting all the attention for her accomplishments.

Maybe your place is to celebrate for the girl who seems to always know the answers in Bible Study. 

When we celebrate for others it doesn’t take away from our talents and what God has blessed us with.

The talents that others have, if you take the time to see, can be a tremendous blessing to you.

Let the time you celebrate with a friend who’s received something you so desperately want, be an encouragement to continue to pray as hard as she did.

Let the time you celebrate someone else’s blog that is also reaching others for Jesus, be an answer to prayer, of lives changed and transformed for His glory.

Let the time you celebrate your coworker be a blessing to others around of Jesus’ genuine love.

Let the time you celebrate the girl who knows it all in Bible Study, be challenge to you to dive into your Bible and fill your heart with the knowledge of God.

Anytime Satan comes to try and bring you down into the pit of jealousy or envy, stop. Because, the talents that others have, are truly a gift to you from God; you just have to take the time to learn from them and Celebrate!

Until Next Time,

{Worth} Fully Redeemed. 

UYM

Written by: Kerrington Sweeney

Are you walking in your full redemption? Are you claiming this over your life on a daily basis? 

“In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” ~Ephesians 1:7 

The Battle you are fighting, it has already been won. The past struggles that are constantly haunting you, are taken forever. The prisoner within you, has been released. The shackles holding you back, have been opened. The stained and tattered cloak you have been carrying, it’s taken. The heavy chains constantly clenching you, they have been broke. The curses spoken over you, are no longer there. The dreadful feelings of complete failure, are replaced with a bright light of hope. 

Daughters, You are Loved. You are cherished. You are wanted. You are blessed. You are adopted. You are washed white as snow. You are worthy. You are ransomed. You are safe. You walk in purpose. You are not a mistake. You are treasured. You have a hope. You are a Daughter, held by the amazing creator of all things. You are indeed, redeemed. 

When Jesus, was so cruelly crucified on that cross, He thought of You! With every strike of that whip and the blood pouring down His face and brows, He thought of you. When that crown of thorns was violently smashed into His skull, He thought of you. As the Nails, pierced through His hands and feet, He thought of you. He thought of you through it all. He loved you, even in your darkest hour. Your most sinful nature, He loved you with an everlasting eternal love. He continues to Love on you, every single day of your Life. 

“I loved you, even at your darkest.” ~Romans 5:8 

Walking in full redemption, is a challenging task at times. Your redemption is a whole free gift, set in front of you. Always ready to be received or it can just sit there and look nice all your life. Redemption is Free. Jesus payed the eternal ultimate price. 

“…in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”    ~Colossians 1:14 


In the Death of Christ, I live. The light of the whole world, lives within you and I. Up from the dark grave, He rose again. He won the victory forever. No plan or curse set against us, could ever take us away from the Father’s eternal love. 

When you walk in your full redemption, You are given the authority, power, and favour to overcome anything! With God, all things are made possible 🙂 

Until Next Time,

{Worth} The Dark Valley…

UYM
Written by: Kerrington Sweeney
Quite recently, I read a young girl’s status (whom I did not know) explaining her ‘self-cutting’ situation. She then went on to say that she was raised in a very poor, dark neighbourhood and had been raped more times than she could even remember. She was beaten, bruised, and scared. 
She felt unworthy to live.
 
 
Because of her horrific situation she was told by many doctors, that she would never be able to bear children in her future. 
 The pain and sorrow that was on display was so real…so crushing.
 This girl, 16 years of age in the Foster care system. Now just recently adopted into Canada, 
from a foreign country.
As I was reading this it hit my heart like a ton of bricks, 16 years old…same age as me. Tears are now flooding my eyes. As I looked at her life and 
then looked at my own. My heart began to truly ache. The things I daily complain about, are the things she would so long to have; Loving parents, siblings…
A happy family. 
 
Today, I am stepping back and being grateful for the many blessings I have. 
This letter is for you young girl who was so vulnerable and courageous to explain her situation, so that she could receive the support and encouragement she needed. She may never see this, but with the God I serve, all things are possible. 
 
Dear Young Girl,
 Whom is scared, beaten and bruised…
There is a God who see’s your pain and the hurts you hold on to.
He’s here to restore you and completely clean you free of the past. 
Psalm 51:7 says…
“Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” 
 
 He will wash you as white as snow. He is a healer who will heal all your wounds, he’s here for you in this low, dark valley…and he will be with you on the high glorious mountains of victory. He’s always with you. I am praying and thinking of you lots today. I don’t even know you, but my heart is hurting for you and is very excited for your soon coming victory! Though you may feel as if you will never see a ‘Victory’ in your life, because of your past…
Your victory declares The Lord is right around the corner!! God has BIG plans for your life! Keep your head up 🙂 
 
Until next time,

{Worth} What makes you worthy?

UYM

Written By: Taylor Horner

How do you define if you are worthy of people’s love and attention? Is it what you wear? How you look? How many friends just liked the new photo you posted? Maybe it’s the amount of stuff in your home or room? Or is it how many times you went to church this week? The amount of times you prayed? The amount of times you opened your Bible?

Let’s get real honest for a second. NONE of the stuff above matters if you are doing it to get the attention and affection of others. You know who wants our love and attention? We all know the answer… God. In everything we do there should be an awareness of God. We should want to go to church, pray, and read our Bible, but we should be doing these things because we want to grow closer to God. That means giving Him our undivided attention and having a moment where we can be selfish, but in a good way. This time with God is just for you and Him – no one else! We need these moments because, through the blood of Jesus, we are now worthy to be in God’s presence and grow in Him. He is worthy to be the one who we seek our love from.

Is it wrong to want attention based on how you look, what you posted, or the amount of stuff you have? I think there is a fine line. It’s okay to have nice stuff and look nice, but we cannot let these things take over our thoughts and measure how worthy we are of love or attention. Stuff doesn’t matter; it doesn’t come with us to heaven! You are not made worthy to people because of what you have or how you look, and if people do make you “worthy” to befriend them because of the outward appearance, they may not be the best examples to have in your life.

So what does make you worthy? God sees you worthy at any time, any moment, of any day to spend time with Him. There are no exceptions. He’s always willing to listen to His child. It doesn’t matter if your outfit is killing it that day or you’re lounging in sweat pants, He is always available.

The next time you are feeling the urge to buy stuff to feel better or are saddened by the amount of “likes” on your post, remember that none of those things make you worthy. What makes you worthy is being the best you can be through God who has washed away your sins and is willing to spend time with you whenever you need. How amazing is that? You are worthy.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.” John 3:16-17

Until next time,

{Worth} Doubly HIS.

UYM

Written By: Marnie Pouget

I remember the first day that my mom gave me a “clothing allowance”. I had received an allowance growing up but this was different. I received $60.00 each month with which to buy clothes, shoes, school supplies, gifts, as well as the occasional lunch at school. The idea was to teach me to budget and plan my finances to meet present requirements and anticipate future needs.

One of my first clothes shopping trips by myself, I had such a difficult time spending my money. I was a bit afraid to buy the “wrong” thing. Eventually after wasting about three hours debating with myself,  I bit the bullet, made a decision, and left the mall with three new shirts with which to start my grade nine year. I remember these shirts like it was yesterday. That moment was significant in my purchasing history.

They were special. I paid for them and they were mine.

Since that day long ago, I have made some other purchases that gave me stress in the purchasing. My first used car. A blue hatchback. I got a second job, waitressing, to pay my mom back. I signed every pay cheque over to her and kept records of the decrease of my debt. What a wonderful day it was when that car was truly mine. Paid in full.

My first new car…. and my first bank loan to pay for the car. A raspberry red 1991 Dodge Shadow, standard transmission with no air conditioning, roll down windows and no radio. If you drove in my car during the summer you had to sing loud because the windows were open and we HAD to have music. It wasn’t perfect but it was mine. My name was on the ownership because I paid for it (or was paying for it).

Then the largest thing I have ever owned in my life…. with the largest debt I have ever had. I recall the day we signed the papers for our mortgage. I think I was about to have a panic attack. My fiancé at the time (now my dear husband), had to calm me down and remind me that the Bank wouldn’t lend us the money if they didn’t think we could pay the mortgage. As I settled down with this thought, I also settled into home ownership. My house is mine and I have paid dearly for this privilege.

“You are not your own; you were bought at a price.” 1 Corinthians 6:19b-20a

“You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.” 1 Corinthians 7:23

I was bought with a price. I am not my own. As one who has accepted the death of Jesus for the penalty of my sin, I have been paid for by the blood of the Lamb. The cost of my salvation. Of your salvation. Death.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

The death of the Son of God, Jesus. The spotless “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. John 1:29

The payment for my sin. HIS death. He made me (remember the two handed process with a purpose?) Click here to read.

He paid for me so I am not my own. I am DOUBLY HIS.

 Until Next Time,
~Marnie
