I typed this message then my iPad erased it, well here goes again I believe the devil doesn't want me to share this today. Mmmmm

God has placed great value, significance and importance on the inside of every one of us. We must remind ourselves every day that we are not here by accident; we are created in the image of God and our lives are full of purpose. Not only does our purpose involve our own accomplishments and destiny, but it involves bringing good and adding value to the people around us.
What matters most is what you believe about your own value and significance. THE WAY YOU LIVE MATTERS!
You may not think you have that much impact, but whether you realize it or not, the way you live is setting example. Yôur attitude, your confidence, how you carry yourself, and how you interact with others is influencing people in the most subtle ways. INFLUENCE is simple the power to produce an effect without an apparent exertion. In other words, just by living your life is producing an effect. If we fail to understand our full value and live without focus or purpose, the example we set allow the people around us to rationalize living the same way. That is why it is ESSENTIAL to hold on to this ; YOU ARE IMPORTANT! THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE MATTERS!
When you recognize your importance and respect yourself. Living each day with a Christian mentality , you are honoring God and reflect it onto others the value He placed in you.
You can rise above disappointments, negative words, and unfair situations as long as you don't lose sight of your value.
See yourself valuable, as God SEES you!
For it is WITH God all things are possible
Have a VERY BLESSED Wednesday!!
Father God guide me today to do all things that will bring glory and honor to You Amen
This message reminded me about a few years ago, I had a disappointing barrel race. Then I was training Futurity colts. It's a rewarding job, but in the same breath it's a roller coaster ride. Has its highs and lows. That weekend was low, I called my prayer warrior leader Duane peters, we have a prayer circle we pray for people in need every day. I had a bad weekend, to the point I wanted to throw my sucker in the dirt and quit! I questioned myself, and wondered why? I work hard, and try 110 percent in my job as a trainer. Why? Hadn't it showed during race? Duane brought it in perspective for me, even now tears roll down my face as an feel the need to apologize to Jesus for not trusting Him in His plan. Duane said, you are looking for success in the worlds eyes, not in the eyes of God. You need to keep doing with the gift God gave you. Keep entering because others see your disappointment, yet they see your try and your dedication with your horses and yes with your relationship with Jesus. Someone IS WATCHING,to see how you handle this struggle.
WOW! I felt like he had slapped me in my face and I cried for allowing the devil to make me feel so unworthy. Well here goes people in May that year, I went to Fort Smith, WON the derby!!!!
THANK YOU Jesus! I try now to step back from the world , and look inside for the plan that God lays before me. God doesn't always do it on our time but He definitely will do it in His time which people is ALWAYS PERFECT!
I pray that this personal journey I share of mine with Jesus, helps you in yours. GOD BLESS ALL!!

Wonderful wonderful lesson here---someone is always watching no matter what to see our reactions to the good and bad in our lives.

I think I will share this with my son's girlfriend. She had a terrible childhood and she needs to be reminded of her worth daily.
THANK YOU for sharing this.
