The Value of You

Jennifred Jones

I have no worth, I have no value, there is nothing important or needed about me.

Too many people have said this about themselves, me included!

We have to keep things in perspective.

I didn’t bake you a birthday cake because it had no value, was nothing important or unneeded…It was baked with a plan in mind to help you have a happy birthday!

The all important toilet paper was not made because there was no value, nothing important or unneeded. We could all do without it….just use a leaf like our forefathers did!

Would I say the YMCA where many work out has no value or worth, it’s not important or needed? We could just run up and down the stairs 15 times a day or walk around the block on a below zero day for 2 miles.

These ideas are crazy because we have seen the value of what they provide and how they improve our lives!

You were not put on this earth as someone with no value, not needed or unimportant. Every single person is needed. Every single one needs to bring their best skills, talents and abilities to the front, to benefit not only themselves, but others.

We’ve got to give up all this unworthiness stuff and start functioning at a higher level.

There are all kinds of needs in the world…even right where you live, and you’ve got what it takes to help at least one of them.

Everything God placed on the earth has value and is needed…you are highest on His list!

Begin to truly value yourself and see what happens.

An Appeal to our Better Selves

Jennifred Jones

I’ve heard it said you need to know your audience before you start talking…so you’ll know if anybody’s listening…

So today I decided my audience, the people I want to talk to are those who already want to do the good thing, they already have convictions about right and wrong, they just need someone to give them permission to step out of the box of societal-correctness and be free to share what’s really on their heart, what they really want to do, who they really want to be, what good they really want to do, how they really want to conduct their lives and their family.

I give you permission!

I am just a nobody, but I am also a somebody and I gave myself permission. Now I am giving you what has been given me…permission to be your best you!

Don’t hold yourself back. This world, your community, your family needs you!

Beauty Makes You Feel Good!

Jennifred Jones

Have you ever noticed when you look at something you really like it makes you feel good?

I think God made us that way because it infuses us with power and strength just by looking at something beautiful. It actually energizes you!

Have we shut ourselves down under a form of denial…self denial or stoicism where we prevent ourselves or will not allow ourselves to look at and enjoy what God has made for us, and placed around us?

I think it honors God when we notice and appreciate and are grateful for the beautiful things in life he has given to us and placed around us to enjoy.

It’s not a form of pride, but like we as parents are happy when our children enjoy what we’ve given and have picked out for them, that’s the same way God is with us.

Don’t be afraid to notice and enjoy the beauty around you. Because really you are noticing and enjoying God, and that makes him happy!
