You know I have heard some pretty ridiculous things in my lifetime, but none more ridiculous than what I read a family member of mine write to a friend. It simply read, “I am not worth it.”

Well let me tell you that I am sure many people have thought this before.  We all go through those times in our lives where nothing is going to terribly right and we feel like it would be easier to just lay in bed all day.

I know that I went through a period of about three years where I thought this. I was depressed, I didn’t really talk to anyone, and those who I was around I pushed away. I didn’t even talk to my parents for about 6 months.

Side note: The amount of love I have for them loving me during this time can’t be described. They put up with a very moody teenager and I think I personally would have given up if I had a kid like me, but they love me despite my imperfections. I cannot thank them enough.

Everything you do in this life has a purpose. There are times when you mess up, but guess what? That’s okay. Those screw up’s have a purpose. They make us who we are. I would not be the person I am if not for the massive screw ups in my life, and I would not trade those for the world because now I love who I am and who I am created to be.

“Everything happens for a reason” is something people tend to say that all the time to make people going through tough times feel better. Is it the best consolation at the moment of whatever you are going through? Probably not. BUT is it true? Yes.

There is a plan for your life. If there was not a plan or a purpose for your life, trust me, you wouldn’t be here. There are 7,252,865,234 (give or take) lives on this Earth. Every single one of them have a purpose. You were created for a reason. There isn’t anyone or anything that can take the place of you. God created you for a purpose. He doesn’t make mistakes.

You have been given an opportunity to live a life that can make a difference. There are people in this world that would not be the same without you. To make a difference all you have to do is touch one life. It’s as simple as that.

You are worth every little detail that was put into you.

You are worth the friends you have.

You are worth the lives you touch.

You are worth the family you have.

You are worth the life you have been given.

You are worthy of being loved.

You ARE Worth It.

 

Peace
