Journeys to Self-Worth: Stories of Triumph
journey of faith music overcoming fear self-worth Jul 21, 2021
My Dearest Warrior of Light,
As I pen this letter, I want you to know that you are not alone in your feelings of despair and discouragement. In the midst of life's challenges, it's common for negative thoughts to haunt our minds, making us question our worth and purpose. The adversary often chooses those moments of vulnerability to launch his attacks, seeking to undermine the very essence of our being. So, how do we combat these relentless negative thoughts? Today, I bring you invaluable resources and stories of triumph that affirm your worth.
Rebuilding Self-Worth
Julianne Donaldson, a New York Times Bestselling author, found herself on an unexpected journey—one marked by divorce, a heart-wrenching experience that shattered her self-worth. In her moving account, "Julianne Donaldson: How I Turned My Throw-Away Soul into My True Self," she shares her transformation from the depths of despair to a place of renewed self-worth. Her story is a testament to the strength that lies within us, waiting to be uncovered.
In Psalm 139:14 (KJV), we find these comforting words: "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Julianne's journey is a reminder that even in the face of life's storms, we remain fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator.
Setting Goals and Self-Worth
One of the most empowering ways to bolster self-worth is by setting and achieving goals. In "4 Simple Steps To Achieve A Scary Goal," I share the ICAN method, a simple yet effective strategy to guide you in your quest for self-improvement. Doubt may try to hold you back, but with faith and determination, you can accomplish what once seemed impossible.
In Philippians 4:13 (KJV), the Apostle Paul declares, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." With Christ as your strength, even the most daunting goals become attainable.
Music to Encourage Worth
Within the episode mentioned above, you'll also catch a glimpse of a song that has been a labor of love for the past year and a half. It's titled "Don't Give Up," a heartfelt reminder of the resilience that resides within us. You can listen to a sample on my website, where you'll also find the sheet music and the soundtrack. It's my gift to you, a melody of hope to accompany you on your journey. Listen here
Finding Lessons of Self-Worth from an Old Story
Over 175 years ago, a Danish author grappled with a question that many of us still face today: "Why am I so ugly?" In my exploration of his remarkable story, I uncovered "Why am I So Ugly? 5 Lessons Learned From an Old Story." These lessons offer insights that can guide us in the quest to improve our self-worth and embrace our infinite potential.
My beloved sister, I want you to know this: You are worth fighting for. You are an extraordinary daughter or son of God, endowed with remarkable and limitless potential. The truth of your infinite worth is a powerful weapon against the onslaught of negative thoughts. With unwavering faith, move forward every day, for you are a warrior of light, and your journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
In Psalm 139:17-18 (KJV), we read, "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand." Remember, my dear sister, the thoughts of God concerning you are countless and precious.
With love, faith, and the unwavering hope that resides within you,
Tamara
