Hello Beautiful! I have made you Kings & Queens.

“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:13-14‬ ‭KJV‬

Are you struggling with finding your self worth in God? Let me help. Let’s talk about how God sees your internal and external beauty. Let’s talk about the status level on this earth he gave you. Let’s talk about how God planned for you from birth to eternal life.

I hope you’re excited for this lesson. I sure am!

First let’s just honor God! Before you continue to read this lesson, take a minute to thank God for who he is, what you mean to him, where he has you, and where he is taking you.

What an amazing blessing to constantly be on the mind of God. He is shaping and molding us into our best yet. Often we, hope to be constantly on the mind of our mates or friends. That’s wonderful as well, but when God is thinking of us, you know for sure his thoughts are always good.

His first thought of us, God created the heavens and earth. He then gave us life. He loved us so much, giving us life wasn’t enough. No! For his children he wanted to create legacy. Therefore, he gave us King and Queen status. He then gave us dominion over the earth and all things in it. We were made in his image and given authority to rule.

Genesis‬ ‭1:26-28‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.””
‭‭

Even King David recognized and voiced to God how important we are to him. Psalms 8:1-8 “O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority— the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.”

Although God told us we were fearfully and wonderfully made, our disobedience brought to light things of evil he didn’t mean for us to partake in. Even through our disobedience, correction, and punishment, he continues to love us with nothing but, the greatest hope of resurrection of our spirits and repentance of our sins. It was never Our Heavenly Father’s intentions to hurt, harm, or cast us away. He wants us to live and not die.

God created The Word to set us free. When The Word was manifested, it was our Lord and Savior Jesus. We needed a perfect being without sin to validate us and  destine purpose. Jesus who so selflessly gave his life to wash away our sins, validated us, and gave us a second chance to an abundant life. We have The Word, the only blueprint to our life which unfolds his plans and purpose for us. Aren’t you happy the only thing you have to do is walk in obedience to receive your Godly inheritance?

We didn’t deserve or earn this matchless love, but we received it and much more. Jesus took on for us the Love  of The Father, and promised never to leave us alone. John 14:15-21. He promised and kept his word to go and prepare an eternal place for us. John 14:3-6. See his love is not temporary no matter our personal decisions. Jesus, through grace gave us free will, but chose to still offer us eternal life through salvation and repentance.

Jesus knew our sins could be restored. His faith in us is doubtless. His faith in our ability is nothing less than conquerors.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭NLT

“So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

Colossians‬ ‭3:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.”

His love for us continues as he knew we would struggle in this clay body. Yet, he never left us alone, so he gave us the Holy Spirit in his image to comfort, teach, and guide us on earth. He equipped and anointed us with spiritual gifts. He teaches us how to obtain and displays the fruits of his spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 & 1 Corinthians 12:1-11.

On the final day of judgment we will not only have a mansion, but our names written in the eternal book of life. How exciting! No one on this earth could ever prepare for you or love you the way Jesus does. There are several examples in the bible which teaches us how to obtain success in the Lord. We under grace have direct access to Jesus. Think of the number of people who said they loved you but, then blocked their access to you. Their love was limited and uncertain!

The next time you are feeling depressed, unhappy, not appreciated, or undervalued, think about the current and future treasures God has set up for you. If another living soul, never tell you or show you love, know that you are loved by God. His love is more than enough. He provides for us daily.

Stop settling for little when God has shown you, your worth. Walk away with grace and in peace from people who take you for granted immediately. Why prolong pain! I encourage you to believe and have faith in yourself. Keep your head up, and walk with confidence. Listen only to the wisdom and words of Christ regarding you. You belong to Jesus. People will come and go, but God’s love is forever. His presence is forever. You are beautiful inside and out. Stop letting people take your joy and downplay your status. You are God’s Kings and Queens. If this was not so, he would have told you.
