Daily Affirmation

A lot of us are familiar with the YouTube video of a cute little Jessica who gives herself a morning pep talk in the mirror while standing on the bathroom counter in her pajamas.

Although funny and adorable, this video has a profound message—the importance of positive affirmation.

We all have insecurities. Mine stem from getting so wrapped up in measuring my worth according to the world’s standards, I neglect to consider my worth in Jesus Christ.

Observing this was a constant struggle for me, my mentor challenged me to seek the truth about my insecurities in scripture and write out a card with daily affirmations to read aloud each morning.

I took his advice and recite the following sans pajama outfit atop the bathroom counter:

In God’s Eyes…

I am VALUED.

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

I am APPRECIATED.

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

What I Do MATTERS.

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

I keep one card on my nightstand and another in my car so I’m constantly reminded that no matter what anyone says or what circumstance I’m in, I am of worth in God’s sight.

What I like most about sweet Jessica in the YouTube video is the confidence with which she speaks.

May we, with the same assurance, face our days with confidence.
