Worn - Tenth Ave. North

We are worth so much more than the lies that we feed ourselves.  If you think you aren't worth anything, that thought is not coming from your Savior.  After all, His love went into an action "While we were still sinners." (Romans 5:8).  

I have a hard time wrapping my mind around this truth, but it tells me I am worth everything to Him.  If you have voices from the past, or even the present, of anyone or anything that makes you feel any less than you are, REBUKE IT!!! Say, “you might as well get behind me Satan, because Jesus never fails me!”

I’m writing this to prayerfully inspire those of us who get worn out, tired, our hearts are so heavy, and our minds are filled with thoughts that are ripping us apart. Also for special prayer for my dad. He says he’s tired even before the day begins.  When I heard this song, I thought my dad had a special interview with Tenth Ave. North and they wrote these lyrics just for him. We should never lose our will to fight because our lives are worth so much to Jesus. He doesn't want our souls to feel heavy, or our hope to fail. He came to give us rest, and to show us that redemption has won. He bought us back, and He was the ransom for us all. "In Him we have redemption through His blood.”  Don’t let His death for you go in vain. (Ephesians 1:7).   Cry out with all you have left.  He can mend your frail, torn heart.  All the dead inside can be reborn.

Maybe you can’t do all the things you use to do because of age, or illness, and you just don’t feel like you are worth anything anymore. That is a lie, and we all know who the liar is. Maybe it’s a mom or dad, or both, who always pointed out all your failures, everything you did wrong, and never acknowledged all you did right. Maybe that's the situation at your job... it's all a lie!  Your identity is not in your job, or what people tell you, or anything you can or can’t do. Your identity is in Jesus Christ! He wants you to forget everything you think about yourself, and pick up EVERYTHING He is!

He gave His life for us!  What more could He give to show that we are worth everything to Him? The same God who spread the heavens open wide, sent His Son, and He waits for us at the cross with arms open wide to lay every unhealthy thought down!

SO LIFT UP YOUR EYES! The struggle can end if your seeking, listening, and following Jesus. If you’re not doing this on a daily basis, it's no wonder the devil creeps in and makes you feel worthless and worn. Your following and listening to the wrong one, and he is doing just what Jesus told you he would do: “Be alert and of SOBER MIND. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8-9).  

Is it you?  Sober up your thinking!!!!!

May the precious blood of Jesus cover you from head to toe.
