Feeling left out? Or worthless?

Trust me, if in this life, we haven't once faced self-doubt or felt insecure, we aren't human.
But why do these emotions exist?

Go deeper, ask ourselves heart questions like

Why do i feel this way? Keep asking why till you get to the root of the problem
Was it a past event that triggered the same negative emotions?
Why does the comment or situation it affect you?
Is the comment EVEN True? or half truths?

The root problem is:
Forgetting WHO we are - we are FIRST a child of God.
Then NEXT, will come our popularity or careers.

Our identities do not lie in the opinion of man (people, who are here today, gone tomorrow).
Our identities do not lie in our status. (careers, look at the current economic crisis)

We forget who we really are. We start believing we are who our critics say we are, or our friends, or our culture, or our feelings, or the devil.

A life that matters is anchored in the identity given us by the God who made us, who sent His Son to die for us. He died for you and for me, WHILE we were sinners. Imagine that! When He (God) was so holy and we were in our sin, He wanted to die for you and i.

He says, ‘I will be a Father to you and you will be My sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6:16, 18). See, He’s the King of kings. If you belong to Him through Jesus, you are the son of the King, daughter of the King;

No matter how you feel, how you’ve been treated, what names you’ve been called or what others think about you. You are the temple He lives in, you are His royal son or daughter, you are His purchase of blood.
