Do you feel unimportant, neglected and without value? Is your self esteem on a critical level?
The truth is everything in life has a value assigned to it. The problem is that people feel unwanted and unloved because they see their worth through the eyes of others.
What is even worse, these feelings of unworthiness stall their personal growth process and keep them stagnant in a level of life that is way below their true potential.
The following story will help you understand your true value, overcome your low self confidence, and show you how to unleash a dynamic growth process in your life:
An important auction was taking place and many valuable antique objects of an important art collection were going to be sold. Among them was an old violin. Just by looking at it you could see that it had not stood the test of time. It looked timeworn and wasted. While everybody was delighted about the rest of the collection, nobody looked twice at this old, worn out violin.
When the auction started, people started bidding huge prices for the beautiful pieces of art, -except for the broken down violin. Nobody wanted it. The auctioneer was about to close the bid for the violin when an old man stood up and lovingly took the battered old thing into his hands.
He dusted it off, polished it and tuned its deteriorated chords. Then he gave a few strokes before he started playing on it. The auctioneer was getting impatient, but the audience started to hold its breath.
A beautiful melody was springing forth from what had been a tattered old violin. As the old man passionately played his song on that violin, the people started bidding again. The price of the violin went higher and higher until it ended up being the most highly priced object of the whole collection!
Maybe you have been feeling like that old violin. Forgotten and forsaken in some corner of existence. You feel unimportant and unworthy.
Don´t measure your worth according to what others think about you. People’s opinions change every day. If you are trying to please them, you will always end up frustrated.
Why not see yourself through the eyes of Him who knows your true worth? God sets the standard for worth in this universe, not men. He can take you in His arms and teach you to play the song He created you to sing.
“You were bought at a high price, don’t become slaves of men.” (1 Corinthians 7:23)
