I believe you have to know who you are in order to survive this world. Jesus knew Who He was and He did not have to prove anything to anyone! I am a child of God and I do not have to prove anything!
Our heavenly Father created us. Jesus died for us. If we are a follower of Christ, the Holy Spirit lives in us. Anything God creates is with purpose and intention and He created us and loves us. He made us just the way He intended us to be. We don't have to try to be anybody else! Isaiah 49:15-16, "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."
There are times we doubt our worthiness and we need to stop negative thoughts. These are Satan's lies! John 8: 44, "for he (the devil) is a liar and the father of lies." Does it align with God's Word? Jeremiah 29: 11, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" God's thoughts of us are for our good, our peace and our victory! When we feel we don't belong, remember He called us by name and we are His! Isaiah 43: 1, "But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.'" When we feel insignificant, remember we are complete in Christ. Colossians 2: 9-10, "...and in Christ you have been brought to fullness."
We can find the truth and our worth in God's Word. His Word shows us how He sees us. He draws us to Him even when we don't deserve it. Hosea 11: 4, "I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them." We are His children and He calls us His beloved!
