WHO YOU ARE
A MESSAGE TO ALL WOMEN
BY JON JORGENSON
You are beautiful. You are smart. You are funny. You are kind. You are unique.
You are worthy of love and affection. You are never too much.
And you are always enough.
You are precious. You are a diamond, a rose, a pearl -
the most stunning of all God's creation.
You are worth more than you could ever imagine.
the numbers on a scale or the hair product you use or the shoes you wear.
how many girls wish they were you or how many guys wish they had you.
You are worth > the price tags on your clothes or the percentage at the top of your math test or even the number of followers you have on Twitter.
Your worth surpasses all earthly things, because in the eyes of The Lord God,
you are loved, and you are worth dying for.
Regardless of who you think you are - whether you model in a magazine or you model pottery with Grandma, whether you're on the hot list or on the not list, whether you're head cheerleader or a high school dropout, whether you're Miss Popular or you've never had anyone call you a friend, whether you love your self and love your life or can't stand to look in the mirror and you feel as if everything in your life is falling apart, whether you are such a winner or you feel like the world's biggest failure - regardless of who you think you are, the reality is that you deserve someone who would give up His life for you.
Because you, too, are powerful. And strong. And capable.
Read about the women of the Bible - Esther, Ruth, Martha, Mary. These women changed the world forever.
And inside of you - each and every one of you - is a woman with that same power. That same strength and that same world-changing capability. And your responsibility is to set that woman free.
This is who you are.
And any voices in your mind that tell you differently are from the enemy. And the next time you hear them, you say, "Nuh, uh! Not me, Satan. I am a daughter of the living God - cherished, loved and adored above all things, by the Creator of all things, for the glory of Him who is greater than all things. I am awesome!" And don't you forget it!
