“My worth is tied to my productivity.” That is a false belief that many fall into. I help care for an elderly woman who struggles with self worth because of her lack of ability to do what she could in the past and her dependence on people like me. I wish she would know that her worth comes from Jesus alone.
It cuts both ways. There is a hidden dignity in receiving as well as in giving. Worth is not lost through dependence. Jesus Christ does not assign value by output, capacity, or power. He names you worthy to be loved, then calls each life into whatever form of faithfulness that season allows.
Dependency is not a moral failure; it is part of being human in time.
Again, thank you for wrestling with the word and giving it flesh (so to speak ).
Thank you for reading and to and you for commenting!
