Malachi 3:17
Amplified Bible (AMP)
17 And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
Often this world attempts to strip us of our uniqueness. "Being the only one of its kind" is an honored position (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/unique). Often, the nature of society attempts to marginalize our worth. The message we receive is you aren't pretty enough, you're too thin, you're too fat, make more money, give your money away, etc. Yet, we don't need to allow society's voice affect our heart (self worth).
Our focus, needs to be on what God says about us. He calls us His jewels, "a valuable stone (such as a ruby or diamond) that has been cut and polished" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jewel).
Our heavenly Father, sees us as His own treasure! WOW!
The next time you think of yourself as less than or not good enough, remember that you are the treasure of the King of the Universe.
Now, how's that for a self-esteem booster?
