“
But God’s Word says, “Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life” (Isaiah 43:4). The world says, “You’ll never amount to anything. There’s just too much wrong with you!” But God’s Word says, “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes” (Ephesians 1:4 NLT). The world says, “You never do anything right!” But God’s Word says, “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us” (Ephesians 3:20 NASB). Wherever you are right now, speak the words of these verses. Say what God says. And don’t sit there and just awkwardly mumble them—claim them! These words will keep you grounded in how God thinks about you for the rest of your life. Keep them on your mind and in your heart, return to them often, memorize them, think about them, and let them become the foundation of who you believe you are.
