so the girlfriends in God devotional this morning is about the way we see our worth.. 

of course I don't see anything the same way as anyone else does.. but go with me here for a minute... 

before this personal relationship with God.. I just knew I was the best woman on this earth and all other people are at least slightly less than.. it wasn't their fault or anything but God loved me more than everyone else.. now these were not just words out my mouth.. I really believed it... 

then Jesus and I got personal.. and he showed me the true value biblically of a woman... now this is not to say she is not important.. or not needed.. but it is CLEAR in the bible that the value of a man.. especially a first born man is far above that of everyone else.. 

so I would say for me.. the closer I got to God.. the less I thought of myself.. 

and I would say that is right.. I was so full of pride and haughtiness that I am surprised God saw any value at all in me.. so He teaches me that I am valued by Him.. but I am not the center of the universe.. I am a servant.. 

for a long time that has crushed me.. to go from the favored daughter of the King to becoming a servant of all mankind... 

but isn't that just who Jesus was too.........

our value and favor comes from God.. not by who serves us.. but by who we serve is my belief now..
