I'm good enough, smart enough and dog gone it, JESUS loves me!

If you're struggling with self-confidence, have a low self-esteem, or just feel bogged down that you don't have a place in this world and that no ones wants you... well the bad news is that you probably feel this way because you are looking for approval in all the wrong places.  Jesus died for us.  God, the god who create the blue sky, the atmosphere and the ozone layer that allows us to breath fresh air, the stars in the sky, the planets and galaxies light years away, each bright green blade of grass, the cool breeze, the warm sand, the towering mountains, this God believes in you and thinks you are his PRIZE creation.  He took extra care in designing you to be just the way you are.  Psalm 139 says:


¹³ For you created my inmost being;
   you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
   your works are wonderful,
   I know that full well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
   when I was made in the secret place,
   when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed body;
   all the days ordained for me were written in your book
   before one of them came to be.

God, the FATHER, the CREATOR, the LORD of the ALL CREATION, thinks you and I are someone worth dying for.  That means we're pretty Special.
