You're not rubbish!

Do you ever look at your life

and wonder how God could love you?

Do failed relationships ever make you

feel measured?

Are there experiences you have been so ashamed of that you sometimes hate yourself?

Actually, most of us (if we're honest) have felt something like this at times. It might be because of things that have been done or said to us that have caused the damage. Or, it might be through things that we ourselves have done that made wounds in our lives.

However it happened, and no matter how badly affected you have been by these life experiences - God wants you to know something really important.......

If you have felt like you are rubbish, or people have treated you as rubbish God sees you in a totally different way. You can't surprise or shock God. He already knows more about you than you do yourself. BUT - God does not view you like you

do yourself, or like anyone else does. He sees you like a wonderful treasure or a priceless work of art by a great artist.

Even if the treasure is dirty or the work of art is damaged - it doesn't stop

being treasure, and the masterpiece does not stop being

the work of a great artist.
