For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. —1 Peter, 1:18–19.
Self-esteem ❌
Redemptive esteem ✅
You are valuable!
It is easy to accept compliments, because you are valuable. It is easy to love, because you are valuable. It is easy to walk in purpose, because you are valuable.
The King of the universe bought you with a price, much more precious than gold and silver, but blood!
“You are worth dying for…”
Because the Lord divine could not behold sin and wanted His own to not be a slave to anything that is opposite, “…power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation, 5:12); He paid a price not owned by Him.
So fear, poverty, ignorance, weakness, disgrace, shame, curse has nothing on you.
You are valuable. Not in yourself, but through the redemptive power of God.
In God's math, your redemption plus His grace equals glorious!
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. —Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
