YOUR VALUE IS INTRINSIC

I was at a conference last week, and it was my first time not presenting at the conference, though I attend every year.

When I got there, seeing others present their work and I was just there seated, made me feel somehow.

Thank God for a healthy self-esteem, I started to feel somewhat inferior at a point.

After listening to a particular presentation, I decided to share my two cents to help the presenter.

My contribution must have added so much value to him, he had to come to sit with me later to hear more.

Not only that, many of my colleagues have seen the post about my latest book on LinkedIn, and they couldn't stop commending me about it.

Why am I sharing this with you?

Your value in life is not determined by other people. Your value has nothing to do with what others do or do not do.

Your value is intrinsic!

Your value is within you; often a reflection of your values, not the values of others.

In fact, the way others see you does not affect your value. People may look down on you, it doesn't matter.

Goliath didn't think or make anything of David in the valley of Elah but it didn't matter. David still slew the giant!

Paul's admonition to Timothy is worth meditating on, "Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity." [1 Tim 4:12]

I have the same message for you today, don't let how people view you affect how you view yourself.

You are worth more than how any man can perceive you.

You are worth more than your employer can ever pay you.

You are worth more than your parents value you.

You are worth more than your customers/clients think you're worth.

Your value is not determined by man! Your value is determined by God.

I believe in you.
