There are so many ways to measure our worth.  This is the good news.  When one way does not work to promote our true sense of self then we can look to another way.  The other thing to keep in mind when we are searching to see our own value is that it does not have to be the same measurement every day.  We are human beings, not human doings and we are not machines that produce a product on an assembly line.  The real question is do we connect with our own true value?  Do we see ourselves as the world sees us or do we see ourselves as God sees us?  Which is more important to us?  It is easy to get caught up in the world’s expectations of who we are supposed to be and what we are supposed to accomplish, but do those things fulfill our hearts?  Do they cause us to see and demonstrate who we are to the world in such a way that we are contributing to the greater good?  Or do they separate us even more from our fellow human beings because now we are greater or less than the lot of us?  Our true strength lies in our character and in our ability to bring love.  It is from love that we were formed and it is love that we are called to be and do.  What that demonstration of love calls for depends on the situation and it will not look the same from moment to moment.  If loving others in a particular fashion causes us to hate ourselves then it is not the true strength of the power of love.  My prayer for us today is that we turn to the strength and source of true love to fill our cup and live out that love emanating in us the best way we can for just this day.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
