I'd say the biggest problem among people today is that they are searching for someone or something to say that they are valuable. Money, relationships, friends, marriages, jobs, talents, and whatever else. Funny how all of those things still leave you empty and no matter how often your success makes you feel worthy, you still feel as if you aren't good enough. There is always someone better than you or more successful than you, someone who looks like they have it all together. The funny part is that person feels the exact same way as you. No matter how hard we try, we never feel good enough.
But here's the thing, God, yeah that being that created you know the whole universe, He wanted to be with you so bad that he died so that you could be with him. He has declared worth over us even when we didn't deserve it. His love is not something we have to earn. His lovingkindness for us is not circumstantial. No matter how fast we run from him, he is right there with us. He has made a covenant with us and has married us. Not only that, but Isaiah 62:4-5 says that he DELIGHTS in us. Don't forget we are talking about the same God that is perfect and holy in all his ways and has created everything, yeah that God. He delights in us when we are in our bed bawling our eyes out for whatever reason and running hard away from him. He says we are worthy of love. He calls us beautiful and delights in us even in our imperfections.
Stop looking for acceptance in places that leave you empty. The Lord satisfies and makes your cup overflow. He is more than enough we just have to realize that.
