Define, Defined.

How do we define ourselves? Who we are? What we are about?
The word define means; “ to give precise value or meaning.”
Sometimes we have defining moments, like childbirth, or monumental spiritual experiences, and the like, that we embrace in defining ourselves.
Any number of wonderful things can be used to help define us as individuals and I don’t know what all they are.
But this I do know, and listen carefully, we are not defined by our circumstances.
Maybe things are tight and you’ve had to scale back Christmas this year, or you made a bad decision and now you must live with the consequences, or you grieve the loss of a cherished relationship that you didn’t handle just right.
Any of these are unfortunate situations but, albeit painful, they don’t have to define the people that we are.
Your value lies in the core of your beliefs, your convictions, and the sincere desires of your heart.
Anything that happens to us outside of this is merely a circumstance that has the opportunity to make us better in the end if we want it to, but not define us.
In case you were having trouble defining yourself, let me help you;
you are priceless, your value is far above rubies and diamonds.
If you’re not feeling it, let’s talk, I’ll tell you why.

I don’t know if you want comments or not…but this one really spoke to me.
This subject has seemed to come up a lot lately. Whether you believe in God or not….it seems to be something important that He wants us to get and understand.
Thanks for reminding me again Terri!!
