“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:14

Just as a diamond shines bright amidst a sea of rocks, you are not a mistake but a precious gem; therefore, embrace your uniqueness and let it radiate for all to see. In a world that often tries to label and define us, it’s crucial to remember that we can shape our identity. The words we use to describe ourselves hold immense weight as they reflect our self-perception and influence how others perceive us. It’s time to take a stand and declare with unwavering confidence: I am not a mistake!

You are fearfully and wonderfully made, crafted with purpose and intention. Regardless of your challenges or doubts that try to creep in, always remember that your worth is immeasurable. Society may try to impose its standards upon you, but the truth is that their opinions do not define you. You have the ability to redefine yourself by choosing to empower words and beliefs that God has given you to embrace your true worth and confidently claim your space or have dominion!

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.”

Remember, you are not a misplaced puzzle piece in the grand design of life! When Steve Jobs’ parents labeled him as not wanted, he defied their expectations and labeled himself a wanted star. In a world where we often face criticism, doubt, and negative labels from others, it is essential to remember that how we perceive ourselves matters more than anything else. We have the power to define our worth and destiny. The world will only call us what we choose to call ourselves. Labels can be limiting, confining us within boundaries set by others’ perceptions of who we are or should be.

Steve Jobs refused to let his parents’ label define him. Instead, he embraced his truth and saw himself as a shining star with limitless potential. This mindset allowed him to persevere through setbacks and failures while transforming the technology industry forever. Think of yourself as a rare flower blooming in the midst of concrete; you were not meant to blend in but to stand out and showcase your beauty. Embrace your true worth and shut out the noise that tries to diminish it. You have the ability to rewrite the narrative of your life by choosing how you label yourself. Amen. Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Amen.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, I humbly ask that you remove any negative perceptions or judgments attached to my life, family, career, and ministry.
May the Lord shower you with an unusual mercy that only He can provide. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
