You Are Priceless: Understanding Your God-Given Worth

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered if you’re enough?

Enough to be loved.

Enough to be chosen.

Enough to be seen.

The world constantly tells us that our value depends on our achievements, appearance, or what others think. But the truth is, your worth was established long before you took your first breath.

God didn’t create you by accident. He formed you with purpose, intention, and love and He calls you precious (Isaiah 43:4).

Your value isn’t determined by your mistakes, your status, or how “put together” you appear.

It’s rooted in something unshakable: the fact that you were made in the image of a loving God.

When you understand how God sees you, you begin to see yourself differently, not as broken or behind, but as beautifully designed and deeply loved.

When God Taught Me My Worth

I once had an argument with my co-parent, one that led him to say something in anger that shook me.

He said, "What makes you think your worth fighting for? Your not."

He basically said I have no value.

Keep in mind this is the man I married, thugged out pregnancy and labour for and went through postpartum like it was easy. I DID SO MUCH. And I still got told by someones son that I was unworthy to fight for in the moments our relationship needed it. All because I gave up on the relationship first. Out of all the breakups and makeups within our relationship, this was probably the one I needed him most to step in and bring us back together. That never happened.

He later apologised and said it was actually how he felt about himself. That's why he said that to me.

Did I buy that? No. I was convinced this man makes no mistakes in what he says.

You can never take back words said even in anger. Now I believe the most true form of a persons character comes from how they deal with the negatives such as anger, stress, sorrow. Those words came from a place of truth in his thinking. He literally treated me exactly how he really felt about me in those negative emotional moments.

Even after the apology, I became disgusted with myself, I mean I chose a person to be the father of my child that subjected my worth to nothing. Because God was in my life at the time, as I read the Bible in those moments, he showed me how special I was. God valued me and that was the most important thing to me.

Someone valued me, that was greater than any being on this earth. How wonderful that made me feel. I mean, yes we have family and friends that value us but the partner we chose to do life with usually holds the most value. But when you put God above your significant other, and his love doesn't change, the overwhelming security in that love and compassion becomes your rock.

There is a reason God sees Marriage as a covenant, he brings two together and they become one flesh. A relationship without him is doomed. In some way we end up making our significant other an idol. That is exactly why God should be heavily involved in your relationship. Being the first point of contact when there is conflict for both sides brings the two closer together.

"That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh." ~ Genesis 2.24 (NIV)

The effect when one values you has, is that you tend to value yourself also. God put value, purpose and meaning in all of us. In the times you feel that your less than in any situation, I want you to remember this Bible verse.

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." ~ Jeremiah 31:3

God speaks to Israel through Jeremiah as they face exile. Though they have turned away from Him, God promises a new covenant built on his unending love. Gods love isn't temporary or conditional. it's everlasting, steady through every season of your life.

Remember how I turn every negative into a positive with God in mind? On this topic I will be doing the same.

After reading the Bible and finding many answers to the questions I had on why I wasn't valued, I came across my final conclusion. God will hide your value from those who are not meant to be in your life. He does this in order to protect you. You try harder and harder to show them by doing all these things to prove your value. Like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit, you try to cram it in and make it work for a little while but you never truly have peace. When God doesn't want someone to see you, there's nothing you can do to change that.

When you one day meet the person aligned with what God has for you, the puzzle piece will just fit. You won't have to try so hard, you won't walk on eggshells, it will work, it will be peaceful.

Although, if you are the type to project how you feel about yourself on to others then this outlook could work against you. You could be blocking your blessings not dealing with the inner workings of your own mind. I would always advise to feel your best about yourself before bringing a significant other in for the ride.

I have seen people still in the healing stages of a past relationship but in order to prove nothing was wrong with them, they jump into another relationship soon after. These types of people also cannot seem to be alone with themselves in life for even a moment, for fear of having to look at all their flaws. The thought of working on themselves puts them off. They end up dragging down their new partner into fixing their unmet wants and needs. Also all while asking that they be accepted for who they are without changing. In my opinion, this is the worst place and person to be.

In Gods eyes, you have value but its your choice to increase it. When you reach where you want to be in your life, the right person will value all the work you put in to get there. You do not always have to work on yourself with others, this is a personal journey for you. Your mission. Take the time to be alone.

Seeing Yourself the Way God Sees You

When you look at yourself, what do you see?

Maybe you see someone tired, imperfect, or still “in progress.”

But when God looks at you, He sees His beloved creation.

The world might label you by your past or your mistakes, but God looks deeper.

He sees your heart, your growth, and your potential even when you don’t.

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” ~ Psalm 139:13 (NIV)

You were intentionally designed, and nothing about you is accidental. Not your personality, your story, or even your struggles. God doesn’t make mistakes; He makes masterpieces.

When negative thoughts try to whisper “I’m not enough,” remind yourself of who spoke you into being. Replace the lie with truth:

    •    “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

    •    “I am chosen and deeply loved.”

    •    “I am valuable because I belong to God.”

Seeing yourself through God’s eyes changes everything. You stop chasing validation and start walking in peace. You begin to rest in the truth that your worth is not up for debate, it’s already settled in heaven.

Living From a Place of Value

When you know your worth in God, the way you live begins to shift.

You stop settling for less, stop over-giving just to feel needed, and start walking with quiet confidence.

Knowing your value doesn’t make you arrogant, it makes you anchored.

You move differently because you understand you were created on purpose and for a purpose.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” ~ Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

You don’t have to hustle for approval.

You don’t have to prove your worth to anyone.

You simply have to live out what God already says about you.

When you rest in your divine worth:

    •    You treat your body with care instead of criticism.

    •    You set boundaries that protect your peace.

    •    You pursue dreams boldly, knowing God’s hand is on your life.

Living from a place of value looks like walking each day in love toward yourself and others because you finally understand how deeply loved you already are.

You Are Already Enough

You were valuable the moment God breathed life into you.

Nothing you’ve done, and nothing you’ll ever do, can add or take away from that truth.

When you start to see yourself the way God does — chosen, loved, and worthy — the need to compare fades. You stop striving for worth and start living from it.

“Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you…” — Isaiah 43:4 (NIV)

Let this be your reminder today:

You are not behind.

You are not forgotten.

You are not unworthy.

You are loved deeply and endlessly by a God who calls you His own.

So the next time you doubt your value, whisper this truth over yourself:

“I am who God says I am chosen, loved, and enough.”
