God's Answer to an Identity CrisisSample

Avoiding the Mirror

Movie Soundbite: “You have to put yourself out there, Madison, you might end up regretting all the things you’ve never done.” – Henry

Watch Clip #3.

God Soundbite: During the scene when Henry (the librarian) is walking alongside Madison in the library, he encourages her to put herself out there. He is encouraging her to ask a boy out and apply for a new job. Madison shrugs this off without much consideration. She so fully rejects his encouragement that she re-pins the job advertisement back onto the bulletin board. Again, God is always calling us upward. He created us in his image. He is more precious than silver or gold, therefore as his creation, we are more valuable than anything in this world. David writes They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb. Psalm 19:10. God’s people are his most treasured possession. Have you been invited into something that you hesitate to step into? How can embracing your value—created in God’s precious image—empower you say to “yes?”

Meditate on the idea that God himself is precious. By being created in his image, his people are inherently valuable.

Prayer Soundbite: Dear Lord, I struggle to try new things. I get nervous that I might fail and embarrass myself. Please help me to step into your power. May I have the courage to allow you to strengthen me to take risks. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

Soundbite for the Day: I Am valuable because the I AM is precious.
